If you look carefully, this program is doing a structure assignment
as the result of a conditional ?: expression.  K&R doesn't explicitely allow
it although ANSI has added support for it.  The only fix with the 4.01 compiler
would be to disallow the construct.  Granted a CXERR is not appropriate.

This brings up the point that any problems with a product should go to
the vendor.  Usenet is not a tech support place for any vendor (nor should
it be as everyone pays for the transfer of information).  [Not meant as
a flame of any sort, I just want to make sure everything is in its place
and I don't miss what I have to do]
