I have been porting some programs written to run on a SUN system to
my atari with MWC v.2.  I have discovered that:

Part A:

long int temp1;
int m;
------
m= anything....;
temp1 += m;
-------
always leaves temp1 = 0;
To try to solve this, I separated the statements:
------
m = anything....;
temp1 = temp1 + m;
------
and ended up with the same results.  Is this an illegal thing to do??
I assumed that types would be coersed into the correct thing.  This
works fine on SUN, ULTRIX and UNIX.


Part B:  
   In spite of several attempts, a few weeks apart, I still haven't
   gotten any file IO to work with MWC in the UNIX mode (ie. using
   integer file descriptors).  In all cases, I have given up, and
   returned to the trusty FILE *fname.  Is anybody else experiencing
   similar problems??
