Here is a bug in the Manx 3.6a compiler. It seems that the compiler knows
about the "const" keyword but is not using it. I tried to E-Mail this
to Jim Goodnow but the mail keeps bouncing back to me. I would appreciate
if someone would pass this along to him. Here is the four line sample
followed by the two compilation outputs. By the way, the manual says that
internal error 17 means that that data type is not supported. I can't win
in this situation.

The compiler recognizes the words const, volatile, and (something else I can't remember). These words are reserved as it says in the manual. Manx said they will be supported in 4.x. /avery Avery Shealey School of Information & Computer Science, Georgia Tech, Atlanta GA 30332 Internet: conn@boa.gatech.edu CSNet: conn%boa@gatech UUCP: ...!{akgua,allegra,amd,hplabs,seismo,ihnp4}!gatech!boa!conn Avery Shealey School of Information & Computer Science, Georgia Tech, Atlanta GA 30332 Internet: conn@boa.gatech.edu CSNet: conn%boa@gatech
