What happens if you change this to

fmt = "%s"

I suppose you mean '"%s"'? Yes, that's what I should have had in the "posix" part of the if statement (though I don't much care at the moment, since I've still to get the thing to work without segfaulting on windows). The confusing part was the difference in behaviour between windows and unix -- or have I missed your point?

I don't *think* there *should* be any difference between posix & windows. There may well be in practice. Oh, I'm getting confused by the whole issue. I also can't test on windows, which isn't a great help... Cheers, M. -- I also fondly recall Paris because that's where I learned to debug Zetalisp while drunk. -- Olin Shivers
