And here's the weekly bug-report again (although this time it's mostly harmless "features"). The current gcc for linux is buggy: it doesn't recognise exponents after a floating point number. This isn't gcc's fault: my library-routines are buggy. I've corrected this (I think this one routine was from the estdio suite), and my gcc now handles the correctly. I hope that nobody minds very much, and I'll upgrade the thing at the same time with version 0.11. These kind of library bugs will hopefully disappear with the GNU libc.a: I have a pre-release, and will slowly incorporate parts of it. I hope arl will port the whole thing some day. fifos can be made, but they aren't really supported. Sorry. I don't think they will be supported in the next release either: be patient (or implement them yourself: I'll be happy to use your code) Creating a new file ignores the current euid and egid, and all files will be owned by root/root. You don't ordinarily notice this, as you cannot be other than root without some hacking. Then to some happier things: I seem to have gotten the 287-support working. nicholas@whatever is porting the bsd math-functions to linux, and will make different libraries for none/287/387. Linus
