Has anyone tried compiling the PROFF program (recently posted in Comp.binaries.
ibm.pc) with Turbo C? There seems to be a problem with the remove function in
the lookup.c file (as well as the look.c file). The following is what TC says
when compiling lookup.c.
Wrong number of arguments in call of 'remove'
Is this happening with people with other compilers, or is this some stupid
quirk with TC?

I posted the source but I don't have an executable for PCs. If someone gets a working compile, I would appreciate it if they would send me a uuencoded ARC or uuencoded version of the file. I can unpack virtually anything. Thanx in advance, jim frost madd@bu-it.bu.edu

Both look.c and lookup.c contain functions called remove(). Unfortunately, remove() is a common function that is contained in the TC libraries and is defined in their stdio.h and io.h include files. So TC thinks you are implementing _its_ remove() function and complains when it doesn't see the argument format _its_ remove() should have. The easiest thing to do is rename the proff remove() functions (and their one reference in pxxparse.c) to something else. I did this and it all compiled and linked just fine under MS C 4.0. (For an ostensibly portable product, it generated far more warnings than it should have, but, none the less, worked fine on my system.)
