Sorely put to the test was I when first didst I stumble upon the lair of the beast 'OUT OF MEMORY' in the hills of XENIX, near the strata of rocks microEmaxian. Many a day and night didst rage the battle, for, in mine inexperience, I didst at first chose weapons upon the customs of my origins in the marshes of VMS. At length, though, vanquished had I this enemy; so that thou may doest likewise, I do hereby array my weapons winning: CCFLAGS = -O -M2l -LARGE line.c: 541c541 < kbufp->d_chunkkused++| = (char) c; --- > kbufp->d_chunkkused| = (char) c; kused++; display.c 156,157c156,157 < while (vtcol < term.t_ncol) < vp->v_textvtcol++| = ' '; --- > for ( ; vtcol < term.t_ncol; vtcol++ ) > vp->v_textvtcol| = ' '; If thoust should, perchance, test the mettle of line.c in the fires Lintorian, be thoust certain to maintain thine courage. Indefinite ranks of 'Strong Type Mismatch'es await thy displeasure. Draw thine relentless all-vanquishing electronic pen, and plunge it into the heart of the morass 'estruct.h', wherein discoverth thou willst hosts of creatures wearing the shape 'LINE *' and 'WINDOW *', and all identical in seeming. Recite ye loudly the words of the ancient poverb, "PASCAL's Rule of Type Differentiation", (which hath come down to us from the ancient tounge BNF as, "The man who wears a hat from birth will never be the same as the man born with a hat on"), pay thine respects to the Guild of Typedefs, and invoke ye repeatedly the ritual Substitutus Globalus overst all the subjects of thine realm. When thou art certain that the meanace hath been erradicated, celebrate thoust with the ancient Roman traditional feast-food, Pizza.
