Unfortunately I can't get any of them to work properly. What I'd really like, is if all the people on the net would get together and post a list of all the known Orca/C bugs. I'm having trouble finding the problems in these programs and was wondering if maybe I've encountered some of the famous Orca/C bugs. It makes debugging difficult, especially when you're assuming the compiler works. While I'm on the soapbox, does anyone know if there's a bug in scanf when reading integers (%d) from a file? I have program that always returns a -1 regardless of what the integer to be read is. Yes, I put a '&' in front of the variable.. -- +---------------------------S-U-P-P-O-R-T-----------------------------------+ |/ Tim Meekins <<>> Snail Mail: <<>> Apple II \| |> meekins@cis.ohio-state.edu <<>> 8372 Morris Rd. <<>> Forever! <| |\ timm@pro-tcc.cts.com <<>> Hilliard, OH 43026 <<>> /|
