Yup. It's talking about set, and pointing out your error. Try
defining set as either signed or unsigned char. As usual, a cast
is probably an error.

Hah, you guys. We've hashed the angles about 4 different ways :).

Either way, something will be cast. If it's not the array indices, it's
strlen() and/or assigment from argv[1] to q.

(I haven't really looked at most of your program; a couple of
things just jumped out at me.)

Good ole comp.lang.c. Quick to point out any error. Care to add
anything else?

Yup. Wrong specification for printing an uncast size_t in your
printf statement. Here you have a real reason for using a cast, at
least in C90.

You're right on that one - and I usually cast to unsigned long and use "%lu",
it just so coincidentally happened that I didn't use "%lu", and on my
host "%u" results in no warnings.
