Not that this means that I cant work, but I notice this apparent (to
my mind, anyway) inconsistancy:

typedef struct MyTag {
	MyStruct a;
	void (*a_subroutine_transfer_address)(MyStruct *s);
	} MyStruct;

This don't fly.

typedef struct MyTag {
	struct MyTag a;
	void (*a_subroutine_transfer_address)(struct MyTag *);
	} MyStruct;

This does.

The argument list should take ansi prototypes, including typedefs and
model arguments.

What does the ANSI standard say about this...(This is really an arcane
incantation) ?

Cheers!

dan.
