This leads into trouble with the current openVMS ports (vax and alpha), where most library functions are '#define'd with a DECC$ in front (and others have a __asm() appended to their declaration). So the compiler doesn't see memcpy but DECC$MEMCPY. Klaus -- proGIS Software E-Mail: kkaempf@progis.de Dipl.-Inform.
