Well, it does have the correct prototype included, from unistd.h

This is, indeed, what happend. The lseek() got passed a long value for it's
second argumemt, in stead of a off_t 64-bit int. What I don't understand is
that, even with -Wall, no warning was given about this. The problem is
only with lseeks, and can easily be cured by casting the second argument to
(off_t) for every occurence of lseek. Lseek is only used in the
(un)zip-code, in the files zipup.c and zunzip.c. With this little
modification, pgp seems to work 100%. Bug-report has been sent to the proper
authorities etc. Wouldn't this also affect the other members of the NetBSD-
family-tree? Anyone on Amiga/Sparc/Mac/Intel can try this?

Alas, it isn't: using those two -W-options, I get a bit flooded with warnings
about missing prototypes etc. But the function causing these problems is
correctly prototyped, and does not generate such a warning.

Credit where it is due :) Thanks for the help.
Hope this is of some use to the other Sun3/NetBSD-users.

Keep hacking! Paul.
