Thanks. Works like a charm. Out of interest, is there any way of stopping
both gcc via RHIDE and command-line gcc from including all the POSIX stuff
and thus speeding up compile time?

I noticed two things - the hack mentioned in the FAQ about getting rid of
some of gcc's automatically included functions, and the checkbox under
OPTIONS\LIBRARIES that says "include default libraries." Can I happily run
a non-POSIX program by removing libc.a linking? It's again me trying to
convince my supervisor to move from Turbo C... :) His main complaint at
the moment is compile time.
