	I didn't catch you first post, but I'll assume you are playing
	with version 3.6.  This version defaults to 16-bit ints (a
	very common source of problems) and doesn't have prototyping.
	Aztec C 5.0x has all the ANSI stuff, prototypes, and a default
	of 32-bit ints so problems are resolved.  Oh, BTW, the Manx
	file you want is "functions.h".
