under SunOS 3.2

|The font (monthtool.font) is installed in "${LIBDIR}/fonts/". (The trailing
|slash is important!! If you omit it you will get ^?, too!)

If you compile under SunOS 3.4 you will get the ^? instead of the
proper [D], [M], [Y] characters.

The problem is because these characters are located in the second  half
of the font characters ( i.e. >128 ).

Yet the source defines them using a type of 'char' instead of
'unsigned char'. SunOS 3.4 is VERY strict in type checking, and
the dbxtool gave me an error 'out of range' when I did

	set typeMark[0]='\220'

I changes typeMark and typeChar to be 'unsigned char' but there was
still some problems. I gave up and recompiled it under a SunOS 3.2
system, and the program finally worked properly.

Perhaps someone whom has more time than I can chase this down further.
