I have to return to the drawing board and identify a possible problem.  It may
lie in that the code was written for a 16-bit compiler, and I was using my
normal OS/2 compiler.

I'm going to drop-it for now.  I've encountered other, more critical, problems
that are a result of my inexperience with C.  Thanks for the outstanding
reply.
