- What, pray tell, are you talking about? Of *course* this is going to
- choke up blood ... for one, a machine dependent include file probably
- requires that you include <sys/types.h> among others. What sort of
- errors was cpp returning?
-
- Regardless, dismissing C in general because one vendor's compiler may (or
- may not) have broken header files is poor logic indeed.
