I recently ftp'ed a copy of the latest and greatest copy of r.44.tar.Z
After getting onto my system and tweeking the config.h file slightly
I have continued to try and get it compile fully.

I am running on SCO Xenix 2.3.2 and it is croaking on the term.c routine.
It doesn't seem to like the following section of code:


#ifdef PENDING
#ifndef FIONREAD
int
circfill()
{
    register int howmany = read(devtty,circlebuf+nextin,1);

    if (howmany) {
	nextin += howmany;
	nextin %= PUSHSIZE;
    }
    return howmany;
}
#endif PENDING
#endif FIONREAD


Here are the errors from the compiler...

	cc -c -O term.c
term.c
term.c(600) : warning 3: not enough actual parameters for macro 'howmany'
term.c(600) : error 59: syntax error : ')'
term.c(602) : warning 1: macro 'howmany' requires parameters
term.c(602) : error 59: syntax error : ')'
term.c(602) : error 59: syntax error : ')'
term.c(602) : error 59: syntax error : '{'
term.c(603) : warning 1: macro 'howmany' requires parameters
...
... (eventual croak)

If you could be of help please let me know.  I'm not a C master, so I'll
have to hope that you can help me out of this one.

Thanks in advance.
