Oh great and mighty 'search' Gurus out there - - I've got a problem - - I have received all off the source to search for System V release 2. It compiles ok, however When I run it, I can only make my velocity go in a positive X direction (and only a negative Y velocity) Come to find out that this has to do with the fact that our machine (an AT&T 3B20S) doesn't understand signed chars - - - All chars are unsigned (therefore no negative values). It looks like search is *VERY* dependant on signed chars. Ive thought about doing a "typedef short int schar", and then replacing the applicable chars to schars, however short ints on our machine are 16 bits long (verses 8bits for chars). Wouldn't this make the universe lots bigger than the 256 by 256 (-128 to 127) coordinate system with wrap around. Has anybody else ran into this? - - Is there an easy fix?
