Sorry.  I must have taken it from my own hard disk, which by definition
is the most recent, current, up-to-date copy.  That may well have been
1.6.11 and been incompatible with 1.5 because I am now only running the
ANSI C compiler on my machine to give it a solid test.  Going over to
ANSI C affected some of the headers, etc.
