Thiis article is  posted in response to inquiries I have received
with regards to ST COMM, a program I wrote with the HABA HIPPO C
compiler.  As posted, and using the HABA HIPPO C compiler, the program
comppiles and runs withoout error.  If one attempts to compile it using
the DRI C compiler provided with the development package, errors will 
result.  I was unaware of this until Alan Kenington wrote me.  His
analysis seems to make sense:
	HABA HIPPO C defines an 'int' as a 32 bit quantity.  DRI C
	defines an 'int' as a 16 bit quantity.  Alan says that the
	errors occur with the 'switch (c)' statement; and they are due
	to the different 'int' representations of the compilers.
I hope this helps anyone encountering these errors.  It has been a while
since I posted the source, and I am not thhat familiar with it anymore.
Maybe Alan will read this and repost his analysis for all to digest.
