I decoded and unarced cdecl.exe and cdecl.man successfully, however the
man page did not explain usage.  I found the program would execute if
I did the following:
	       cdecl < source.c

Source.c being any C listing.  But cdecl's only response to this input
was either 'syntax error' or 'bad character' in great abundance. Perhaps
this is not the intended way to use the program.  Can someone straighten
me out, please?

BTW, posters would be advised not to use word processors for text which
embed unprintable characters.  These don't display very well in straight
ascii.
