Thanks for the responses I have already recieved regarding sc for sco unix. In response to Richard's suggestion, yes i have tried gcc, cc, rcc, cc -x2.3, and gcc with Bison. I have also tried both versions of the sco malloc functions since xmalloc and xfree are a consistent source of trouble. I have made attempt at debugging sc myself, but keep getting stumped since most of the segmentation violations occur in calls to malloc, or fprintf and happen in a function called "start"?. I do not know assembler and am lost at this level. The problems are not especially repeatable, sometimes sc will segment when trying to write the spreadsheet to a file, or on a call to xmalloc or xfree, sometimes xfree will check the magic number find a discrepency and exit. If I could isolate it I would, but I suspect that I am doing something incredibly *STUPID* when I build/use sc since I have not heard of anybody else having these problems. Any help is greatly appreciated! Ian, uw-beaver!ssc-bee!ian, or ian@atc.boeing.com
