As you can see, gzwrite *is* declared with const. The reason why you're getting a warning is that zconf.h #define's const as nothing unless it thinks you're on an ANSI compiler (and the difference between 1.1.4 and 1.2.3 is mostly that the former's test for ANSI-ness is brain dead). But if you're compiling that #define then const or lack of it should mean nothing to you. regards, tom lane
