Has anyone managed to get the recently posted trek73 running on a machine that doesn't remap zero? (ie not a VAX :-)? I'm trying to get it going on a Sun and I'm getting an awful lot of core-dumps which all result from the assumption that: foo = (char *) 0; bar = *foo; yields bar == 0. It doesn't. It yields a core dump :-( I've found some of the more obvious problems (expecting strlen ((char *) 0) to yield zero) but there are some rather more subtle ones that currently elude me. [Postnews told me this was "rather small to be a source distribution" --- presumably comp.sources.bugs is for distribution of bugs for installation in working systems] -- ian
