I don't know whether things are any better in standard C environs these

You're not stumped, that was exactly the problem. The linker decided
to prioritise the Unix system call over the user's routine, without
complaint or advisory. In the larger context of all the surrounding
code, all us experts who just as a matter of unconscious habit
avoided naming routines like that, didn't see the problem. main()

Read();

Read()

blah;

}
Well I am stumped, other case sensitvity for Read
and the OS read routine, when linked.
