Does anybody have S running on a 3B2/400, System V Release 3.0,
with fpcc (C+FP) and fort (f77+FP)?
I started the port with a working 4.3 and SUN version,
but got bogged down somewhere along the line.

N.B.: In the process of trying to port the code,
I discovered that the 3B2 passes character arrays
with a pointer to the descriptor:

	struct descrip {
		char *addr;
		int length;
	};

This is not the way it is done in most UNIX'es!

I also hit many bugs in the 3B2 sdb--has anybody else experienced this
kind of thing?  Granted, S is a large program (it takes about 5 minutes
to load!).  But still, this kind of thing is discouraging.
