It was a far more basic problem than that! I'd have been pleased if I'd got as
far as that. You developers of today don't know you're born. Back in my day we
used to have to get up before noon just to turn the computer on...
Actually, I had a problem in that I only had GNU indent and BSD indent that was
core dumping but it was unpatched, plus I couldn't find the BSD indent source
on the web. Eventually found it, in a linux distribution of all places, and
then I got the above errors, by which time I was quite prepared to not count
those as such.
There are a few macro's defined that make me think of fortran programmers
moving to C.
Anyway Bruce, you'll see the patch eventually generated lower down you inbox.
