	Hi,

	I'm upgrading from 1.2 to 1.3 and need to get fsck compiled
	and then I will be able to build the boot disk.  But this
	block of code in fsck keeps choking the compiler up...


		if (*fmt = 'l' && tolower(*++fmt))
			*fmt = toupper(*fmt);
		mode = isupper(*fmt);

		switch(*fmt) {
			case 'c':
			case 'C':prc(nextarg(char));  /*??? ERROR HERE ???*/
				 break;
			case 'b':prn(unsigned, 2, 0);
				 break;
	 		--
			--
			--

	The error message is that the line with "case 'C'" has an unknown
	selector u_.  I get about 2 pages more of errors claming that 
	)'s, ;'s and :'s are missing.  (The code looks good to me!)  I tried
	retyping the switch in, think that a hidden control char could be
	in there somewhere but had no luck.  Does anyone see something wrong?
	Any ideas?  If possible, could someone send me the version of fsck
	they are using with V1.3?

	Thanks,

	Pat McCormick
