Xenix 2.3 C-Compilers Chugg'en Along

[Wm E Davidsen Jr]

  I have to agree that thyere are problems in Xenix C. I had a program
which gave me the noxious "infinite spill". I called SCO and they
explained that I had to simplify the line which caused the problem (as
if that was a secret fix). I asked for a hint on simplifying "return 1"
but not no useful info. I did, at their request, send a copy of the
program about three months ago, but I never got a reply.

  Due to another SCO bug (fsck) I have lost the problem number on this,
so they can disavow all knowlege when I call. They did send me a new
fsck copy, although the person on the line didn't know about the bbs so
I got it surface mail.

  I am looking forward to updating to SCO UNIX, just to get the pcc
compiler. There are some programs which just won't go thru the standard
compiler due to using bugs in pcc as features.
