It can be fixed by waiting for MANX to fix their prototyping problems in 5.0b. The bugs are due to the use of both K&R style function declarations and prototypes. This was a new bug introduced in 5.0b. I really thought it was going to work especially when all the warnings went away with the new includes. I have been trying to find out when the bugs will be fixed so that I can send Mike some patches (I did most of the work getting MG3a to compile with both MANX compilers) or just some new instructions. If it isn't going to be fixed within a month or so I suppose I will track down all the bugs (YEEECCCCHHHHH!) and distribute some patches. > -- | | uunet!digi!woodwrk!dick > Dick Wood | Become an ORGAN DONOR : dwood@digi.lonestar.org > -- -- Lynn Kerby, Amdahl Corporation: lfk@key.amdahl.com or {...}amdahl!key!lfk <<<<---------------------------- DISCLAIMER ---------------------------->>>> <<<< Any and all opinions expressed herein are my own.
