That's no excuse for not having a man page, and a libcompat. By explicitly adding -lcompat to the command line, the user basically agrees that he knows about the warning in the sigmumble() man page. At least, he should have learnt from the SEE ALSO section which function to use as the correct replacement. -- J"org Wunsch Unix support engineer joerg_wunsch@interface-business.de http://www.interface-business.de/~j
