Thanks to some helpful members of the net (four of them so far), I have got the answer to my question above, and now have GNU diff 1.7 running. The answer was to use either the alloca() that comes with GNU EMACS, or to use the version of SCO Xenix 386 alloca() posted by Chip Rosenthal to comp.unix.xenix back in March. Thanks again to those who helped out. (The answers arrived within a day of my posting!) ...Sam -- Samuel Lam {alberta,watmath,uw-beaver,cs.ubc.ca}!ubc-cs!van-bc!skl

Thanks for the credit, but I didn't do it.

That SCO Xenix 386 alloca() I was talking about was the work of Chip Salzenberg <chip@ateng.com> of A T Engineering at Tempa, FL. My apologies to Mr. Salzenberg for the mistake. ...Sam -- Samuel Lam {alberta,watmath,uw-beaver,cs.ubc.ca}!ubc-cs!van-bc!skl
