Some problems I am hitting into are redefined functions like fcntl, utime, etc.. I was wondering if we can rename our 'w32.c' specific implementations as 'sys_' (sys_fcntl) and use 'emacs/src/s/ms-w32.h' to redirect the calls to Emacs implementation of those functions. In the earlier versions of VC, thses functions were missing. Would this exercise be worthwhile? -dky -- Dhruva Krishnamurthy Contents reflect my personal views only!
