I've been trying to use function prototypes as described
in the second edition of Kernighan & Ritchie.
	It appears though that the cc compiler on our HP9000 series
350 does not support these features. Can someone tell me if it is correct
that the C compiler is a vanilla C conforming to the first edition
of K&R? Should I abandon prototyping, especially if I want my 
programs to be easily portable?

On a second note, I have unsuccessfully tried to figure out what
the form of the tset command should be so that it will properly
detect the terminal type when rlogin is used from another machine
over an Ethernet link. I am using HP-UX 6.1 with release 6.0 of
the Berkeley network utilities. (To narrow this down a bit,
what device should I use with the -m option (ether, lan)? It
works with ether on another of our HPs which hasn't yet been
upgraded from HP-UX 5.5 (or so).) Does anyone know what this 
should be?
