Old C Code Headaches

Lars & Diane: Thank you for the heads up on a.out vs ELF. The executable created by the original port still runs so there is still some support at that point so I'll go see what I can find in the system headers and perhaps I can figure out what I need to do that way. Toby: The reason to use 1.6.2 (or earlier had I been able to) was to get to an earlier version of GCC. 2.95 plays much more nicely with old code (-traditional actually works) unlike newer versions of it. I keep hoping that the various alternatives will catch up but for now it's still GCC. But you're right, I do need to see if I still have a copy of K&R "C" in the basement as it might help jog my memory. Thank you.
