Re: Adding a system call to kernel

[jensen galan <jrgalan@yahoo.com>]

Thanks Geert.

You know, I knew I had to do include this, and spent
all weekend trying to figure out where to include
<errno.h>.

But, for some reason, after reading your reply, the
simplicity dawned on me - include it in the user-space
program dummy.

That's what you should have written ;)

Thanks again - it worked!
