Hi Chet,

yep, I think it has:

Do need any header files or somthing else?
BTW. we didn't realy talk about the snprintf problem on the older OS 
releases:
SunOS 4.1.1_U1 (sun3/sun3x) and or SunOS 4.1.4 (Sparc - sun4m) in this case.
The autoconf script defines HAVE_SNPRINTF to 0 which fails, I just have 
changed config.h
after configure has been run to be undef for HAVE_SNPRINTF:

< #define HAVE_SNPRINTF 0
---
> /* #undef HAVE_SNPRINTF */

what do you think about that?

Much Regards
Klaus
