Very interesting... it appears that the gprof.inf file was omitted from the bnu27b.zip distribution. :( It is, however, in the bnu27s.zip distribution, so if you're really desperate to have it you can get it from there. But I don't understand how you could possibly be having problems using gprof. The only syntax that matters is 'gprof '. As long as you've compiled correctly with '-pg' and done a sample run of your program, typing that will generate a complete human-readable data dump with internal documentation. What part of this are you having trouble with? -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- | John M.
