[comp.sys.ibm.pc] proff compiles under TC

tim@cit-vax.Caltech.Edu (Timothy L. Kay) (02/13/88)

The source code for proff was posted a few days ago.  Proff is an
nroff- like text formatter.  I just got it to compile using Turbo C.

It was really quite simple, requiring about 30 minutes.  The biggest
problem is that Turbo C complained that the function remove() had the
wrong number of arguments.  I assumed that there was already a function
prototype for a predefined remove function, so I changed the definition
and the one reference to use the name xremove().  After that, it
compiled with about eight warnings.  However, the code crashed when I
ran it.  I changed from huge model to small model, erased all .objs,
recompiled, and I have a working program.

I tried it on the supplied manual, and it seems to work alright.  I
have not tested it extensively.

I can send or post diffs, arc'd sources, zoo'd sources, a uuencoded
executable, an arc'd executable, or a zoo'd executable.  Please express
your wishes VIA MAIL!!!!  Do not post such mundane stuff.  Then,
depending on interest, I will either mail individuals, or post the most
useful format.  I suspect that a .arc with both sources and executables
would be the most appropriate.
