Good point. I've copied the model of atexit.c, i.e. saying "This file is in the public domain" and signing it "Bruno Haible", as it seems to need a signature, and Bruno's the only non-trivial contributor: https://github.com/luaposix/luaposix/blob/master/dummy.c Thanks again, and let me know if I have got it wrong again. -- http://rrt.sc3d.org
