THIS IS CORRECT!!          ^^
the source code for uupc compiles with microsoft c v4.0 and the
microsoft assembler v3.0. i compiled and got it to work with
only having to fix one bug. this was in the routine that compares
the calling system's name to the ones in the systems file.
before that change, it would answer the phone, establish a link
and then hang up. this fragment of code that you posted, however,
is not braindamaged. granted, the amount of documentation with this
was far from superior. but the code does work as distributed with the
compiler and assembler the poster mentioned in his miniscule documentation.
(thos above).
