Mr. Thompson,

I think you snipped me unfairly. My question was EXACTLY about C and ON T.
After my question, I made a bunch of dashes and said a few words about who
cares what:

Thanks Jens. Can I ask what your compiler said about that first error? I
think it's an important modification from K&R days to #define MAXLINE a good
deal larger. MPJ

At the risk ....

I am not bilingual and have never walked through a Tor, not even the
Brandenburg. Switching languages sometimes stops the hemorrhaging when I
unwittingly step on a land mine. I shut up when you tell me to, even when
people keep piling on a tackled man. So when you say '[in clc] write in
English', do you assert a leadership role or do you heckle from the cheap
seats? MPJ

I left out the negation in the second sentence, so one needs to say 'nicht'
aus dem Hause....
