Yes, I will keep that in mind.

There are a couple of other flags that are set on the other
architectures which I haven't investigated yet (read; I don't know
what they do), but it's working now on Cygwin, Solaris, SGI, AIX and
Linux.  (The sun4s need a little tweeking)

Thank you and Chris Faylor for your help - much appreciated.
