Thank you, Phil, for posting this.  This is pretty much the same result
that I got under BSD 4.3 but, since I am not a C programmer (or any kind
of a programmer) but a -- how you say -- end user, I assumed that I was
doing something seriously wrong.

The strange thing (to me) is that as far as I can tell, these things
*are* defined.  At least, they don't look different from the other
definitions in the code that do not appear to be causing problems.  A
good number of these "undefined" items are linked to MSDOS-specific
parts of estruct.h.  I tried masking things out, but succeeded only in
making a big mess.

Under BSD 4.3, an output file was created, but it would not execute.
Perhaps others have had the same troubles.

[Note: medoc4 also did not survive the trip to this site.]
