Hi Murray,

When you wrote this you obviously had not received my message
describing the underlying cause of your problem. Please incorporate my
diagnosis in anything you submit to IBM.

A quick-and-dirty workaround is to define __cplusplus immediately
before you include  and then undefine immediately afterwards
- unless you are using C++ instead of C, in which case leave it
defined. You can even add this tip to your article, if you want.

For which magazine are you writing the article? Is it available south
of the Mason-Dixon?

Regards

Dave
