Will do... Did that. Do you think that there's some reason not-to merge it? I mean if fopen(".") throws an error, FREAD_READS_DIRECTORIES will NOT be defined - as is it now. I don't know how many people cares about configure script since there are missing bits in it again and again. I believe it could receive good amount of testing only when it's merged in. I'm trying to make GIT working on HPUX - next patch in my queue is about broken vsnprintf() that returns -1 on maxsize overrun. Do you think that it's more likely that patch will be accepted when I omit "broken vsnprintf()" detection code from configure.ac? MR -- Michal Rokos NextSoft s.r.o.
