If you compile and link using their library you must make the source of your program available to the public for three years. That may not be desirable in all cases. gcc is not bug free, but it is about as clean as most commercial compilers. It has *deferent* bugs, not *more* bugs. -- bill davidsen (davidsen@crdos1.crd.GE.COM -or- uunet!crdgw1!crdos1!davidsen) "The world is filled with fools.
