An improper typedef should cause the compiler to emit a message. Do you have such a message? > Was this cleared up? As far as I know, no. We only have one MS/DOS system here and its development environment is based on the DJGPP system (GNU C ported to MS/DOS). It's therefore difficult for us to investigate problems on MS/DOS. Be that as it may, I think that the xdrposix.c module should be used rather than the xdrstdio.c module. It is under DJDPP. > Also, has anyone yet comiled the perl extensions for DOS?

I'm willing to serve as a resource, though I don't know how much help I'll be. -------- Steve Emmerson <address@hidden>
