Hi David,

 I think it is correct. Details are coming:
the file begins with #include <ctype.h> which holds the definition for tolower
as 'extern int tolower(int)'. Later, the source has a 
#if defined AIX
#define abc() tolower()
#endif
etc.
Then it is used in a loop:
for(i=0;i<strlen(string);i++)
     string[i]=abc(string[i]);

Do you see any bad thing in the above usage?
Btw, the linker gets libstdc++ to link with. I could not force libc, as -lc and
-l/lib/libc.a gave me an error.
The latter said -l /lib/libc.a (notice the space separator even if I do not put
any between the two in the command line) could not be found. All I can
think of that ld does not follow symlinks; at least /lib/libc.a is a symlink
on my system, and I had a previous lib problem which was solved when
I have copied the lib from /usr/local/lib to /lib.
Would it be a solution if I do something like
#define tolower(c)          ((c)-('A'-'a')) ?
My AIX is 5.1, and gcc is 3.0.1.

Thanks in advance if you have any idea for this problem,
GCS
