Hello. I'm trying to compile the recently posted umoria sources on a
SCO Xenix machine.

In the source file "spells.c" at line 833 and line 933 I get the
error:

`destroy' : not a function

The function "destroy" is defined in those places by being returned by
the function "get_flags" as:

int fire_ball(typ, dir, y, x, dam_hp, descrip)
int typ, dir, y, x, dam_hp;
ctype descrip;
{
  (a bunch of local variable defines)
  int (*destroy)();

  (some code)
the get_flags call:
  get_flags(typ, &weapon_type, &harm_type, &destroy);
  (some more code)
line 833:
		if (destroy(t_list[c_ptr->tptr.tval))
		  (void) delete_object(i, j);

the garbage around line 933 is in the same format.

Can anyone suggest to me how to get around what seems to be a
limitation in my compiler? This is SCO Xenix 2.2.1 using Development
System 2.1.4 on an IBM PC/AT compatible (PCs Limited AT^8) with 1.5
megs of RAM and 100 megs of hard disk; never a hardware/software
incompatibility, so I'm sure it's SCO's fault :-)

Thanks in advance!!!
