    Did anyone else have the problem that the section labbeled as part
one was actually part 5, and part 5 was also part 5 ??  I have two
part 5's, and parts 2,3 and 4. Anyone get a good part 1 ?  Thanks

phil -

it is (30030) divisible by 59, just not evenly so.  i do believe matt
was on evenly divisible by 13 or something.  not quite sure ;-)

Did anyone else have to redefine the FREE macro in new.h of BISON?
I'm using Turbo-C 1.5, but had to modify the source of the include
file to get the compiler to accept it.

I had to change

#define FREE(x) (x && free((char *)(x)))

to

#define FREE(x) if(x) free((void *)(x))

to get it to compile.  Is this a reasonable change, or am I missing
something?  My machine has been off the net for a while, so it's
possible this has already been discussed.
