Thanks...I had figured they would probably be specific to some compiler
of another.  Anyway, does anyone know what these constants are supposed
to mean.  I can throw in those #defines in a header file somewhere, but
it would be Real Nice if I knew what they meant.  Thanks, and I'll chat
with you later...

P.S. In the last message I sent concerning popen, pclose, and perror...I
got the name of one function wrong...:-)  I can't find psignal anywhere
in the standard libraries although it is listed in a header file.  No
problems with perror here.  Sorry about the mix-up...:-)
