Hi Dave,
Good spot. I did need to refresh my memory there, thanks.
Now I checked the function in the library where it is defined
and it still comes up with a U beside it. This is extremely
odd since the compiler succeeds and makes no complaints about
the function. It's a small, simple C function. Most odd.
Thanks,
David.
