(Everything on the internet takes a week :-) Wouldn't it be possible to HP/UX ify the existing code and then persue the new in parallel? (eg LOC_HP_THREAD_LOCAL_STATIC). I think the code base is otherwize exposed to the problem of having the existing functionality removed without having the new code in place. Once the new framework is working I think you're in a stronger position to argue for the removal of that old code. enjoy, Andrew
