Hi Jeffrey, that's an OS issue - your host system should define O_ASYNC. Some older systems define FASYNC instead, try that one. You can work around this more elegantly, too: #ifndef O_ASYNC #define O_ASYNC FASYNC #endif And hope for the best. (...) (25 years ago, 2-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos, lugnet.robotics.rcx)
