In the C code they have inserted #ifdef vax || #ifdef vms cpp directives (amongst others) so the code could be ported to various machines. I was under the impression that these were reserved symbols that had already been defined to cpp ( 3xxx IRIS, running 3.6). However I have just found out that vms and vax are NOT defined, contrary to the misleading statement in the cpp man page, which states upon closer inspection "The current list of these possibly reserved symbols includes:". Does any one have a complete list of "possibly reserved symbols" that ARE currently defined? -- Alan Davis | Mesoscale Air-Sea Interaction Group | TCP/IP davis@masig1.ocean.fsu.edu Florida State University | (128.186.3.1) 435 OSB Meteorology Annex | SPAN scri::"davis@masig1.ocean.fsu.edu" Tallahassee, FL 32306-3041 | BITNET davis%masig1.ocean.fsu.edu@cunyvm (904) 644-3798 | _______________________________________________________________________________
