I decided to post rather than mail as this is probably of interest 
to Xenix users in general.

The problem is that ptr != int.   Table is declared 

extrn node **Table;

Comparing this to 0 will not work in 286 Large model.

If the 0 is changed to NULL - declared in stdio.h as ((char *) 0)
and disable the malloc stuff. It will work.

You will also need -Ml and -F 4000 otherwise you will run out of 
stack.
