BL> ROFL! That's how you caught me the last time...

You have to remember that I will do a pain vs gain comparison myself, and
won't write a utility myself if it would take longer to do the stuff
manually.

BL> section 1 of 1 of file nullzero.zip  

NULLZERO.C(6): Error! E1100: Definition of macro 'max' not identical to
previous definition
NULLZERO.C(9): Error! E1011: Symbol 'max' has not been declared
NULLZERO.C(9): Error! E1054: Expression must be constant
NULLZERO.C(9): Error! E1020: Dimension cannot be 0 or negative
Error: Compiler returned a bad status compiling 'NULLZERO.C'

However, that was because the compiler was non-conforming by default, and
had decided to define a "max" macro on your behalf.  It is normal
to put your own #defines in uppercase, and call them something more
descriptive, like MAX_FILES.  However, that is beside the point, the code
is valid, and after a bit of hunting around, I passed the "-za"
option to wcl386, and it compiled clean.

[later]

I've tried it and it works.  The only change I have made to it is to add
some comments at the top...
