!So how the heck do I compile this thing? We built the project file for
!turbo C 2.0, it gets to the link step and then dies with a _main symbol not
!found.

!I know you guys got it to compile. Whats the trick?

!I use MSC not turbo, so I'm a little lost here.
Most likely you've forgotten to flip(Tm) the files; Turbo C does
_not_ understand files that use merely the linefeed character as a line
separator (as U*ix does). Microsoft C accepts both styles.
The cure? If you've got Rahul's flip, then 'flip -mv *.*' does
the trick. Otherwise, use your editor.
I managed to compile the thing, but I still have problems..
namely, after some computations & fancy displays it dies horribly with
the message (or stg like it)
MAXPLATES exceeded ,,, infinite loop
It appears that MAXPLATES is a constant with value 40; however,
incrementing it does no good. I've tried with & without optimization,
with & without word alignment; no visible difference.
Has anybody encountered this? In other ways, a very interesting
program, as is the accompanying article.
Kari.
