I am just learning the C language. The compile of choice at school is Borland. This is not my choice. I prefer to use Cygwin and my Emacs editor. I have become aware of some incompatibilities between the two compilers. Problems, which my teacher cannot help me with because he is not familiar with this compiler. With regards to structures, my text book states that some compilers cannot pass and return entire structures to a function. I seem to be unable to do this either. I seem to be unable to even pass a pointer to a struct. How does Cygwin deal with this differently? Where can I find docs that would be appropriate for someone like myself? I have been unable to extract any useful information from the documentation at the Cygwin site. Paul Becker -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
