The problem with relying on it being compatible with version 7 is
that one day someone may just remove the int part of the union since
it has no comment to state why it is there !
Its probably the 'cat -v considered dangerous' syndrome I'm trying to
put across.

I'm sorry about naf mailshot layouts but its rather a torturous route
to get to usenet for me !
