Apologies if I misled anyone: standard Pascal does not have a default case specifier, so the lack of one in ``pc'' is not a bug. However, I have yet to see any Pascal compiler (except the Berkeley one) that doesn't have *some* nonstandard extension for doing this. The most common one is perhaps ``otherwise'', rather than ``others'', but the changes of which I had copies used ``others''. I believe (untested! untested! whoop wail dingdingding) that simply changing hash.c to have "otherwise", rather than "others", will work. (Now how did I manage to get ``outputs'' in the subject line? Oh well, no big deal, I hope...) -- (This mind accidently left blank.)

<vale> Try "pxp -O", an undocumented feature which changes an otherwise to an if...then...else structure. This satisfies the desire for a default clause, and the source for pc is still (almost) Wirth PASCAL. -- reg Reg Hody, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia.
