New version available. As I don't want to spam the list with various versions until I get it right eventually, you can get it from http://members.aon.at/pivot/pg/fixchar20021010.tgz if you are interested. What's new: . README updated (per Shridhar's suggestion) . doesn't crash on NULL (p. Tom) . version-1 calling conventions (p. Tom) . isCachable (p. Tom) . works for 7.2 (as delivered) and for 7.3 (make for73) Shridhar, you were concerned about signed/unsigned chars; looking at the code I can not see how this is a problem. So no change in this regard. Thanks for your comments. Have fun! Servus Manfred
