Just grabbed a bunch of BSD games off uunet, including warp. Most compiled with no fuss, but warp needed cc -bsd -traditional (mainly for old-style preprocessor behavior). Anyway, stdio.h and ctype.h both elicited parse errors at places where they declared something to be const char *, namely fdopen in stdio.h and _ctype_[] in ctype.h. I nuked those const's and everything went ok. Even "hello, world" wouldn't compile with cc -bsd -traditional. An oversight which I trust is fixed in 2.[01]. I guess I ought to try to upgrade before OD costs double again. Back to playing hangman and robots...especially robots... -- Matt Emerson matt@karazm.math.uh.edu

This is not fixed in 2.0. Try cc ... -Dconst="" for a quick fix.
