I have a version of the "check" program written by Nick Crossley of 
Computer Consoles Inc. Irvine way back in 1988. It attempts to check
the syntax of C programs in a more heuristic fashion than lint. 
Unfortunately it doesn't like in-line declarations of variables in 
function names, eg:
	int foo(int bar)
	{
	  :
	}
generates a syntax error.

Is there a version of "check" which does accept this style syntax ?
Does anyone know the email address of Nick ?  What does everyone else use ?

Regards,
	Tim.
