Because AST forgot to include these in the 1.6.16 cdiffs, I think, but
now you can ftp them from ftp.cs.vu.nl. I think they are in
lib_other.shar.Z.

cc on the pc is the ACK compiler which is K&R. If I remember correctly,
there is a macro definition for PROTOTYPE which for ACK transforms a
function definition to K&R functions. Try cpp on a program with PROTOTYP
and see what it does..

Yep, me...
Only some test programs give errors, but I haven't had
the time yet to look into it.

Off and on, about the same time for me.

When AST posted the 1.6.16 announcement, he wrote that, after getting
bug reports etc. he might post the definite 1.6 version cdiffs to the
net. You may wait for them.
