The following program:

>	#define _c(C)_ (C)&('|'+3):c_()(C)>>('\n'-3) __ /**/
>		<lines deleted to save space>

does not compile on most System V systems.  Several Sys V /lib/ccp's have
problems with the first define.  The following modification allows it
compile:

	1c1
	< #define _c(C)_ (C)&('|'+3):c_()(C)>>('\n'-3) __ /**/
	---
	> #define _c(C)_ (C)&('|'+3):c_()(C)>>('\n'-3) __; /**/

Our decisions are final.  But we can say:  "sorry about that folks!"

Next year, we would like to obtain help in running 'nominated' programs
in different machines.  We will solicit such help near the proper time.
