PE>>> You can pick up most of my programs and compile them any damn
 PE>>> place you want.  C has a very well-defined standard, which is
 PE>>> very very good.  Anything you can depend upon is documented.
 BV>> Hmmm...Strange...MSC v5.1 and Visual C++ 1.5 both barf on PKTJOIN
 PE>> MSC 5.1 is not a conforming implementation.

 BV> True, but what about Visual C++ 1.5 ne: MSC 8.0 ?

I don't know about Visual C++, but if MSC 8.0 doesn't have
EXIT_SUCCESS in the  header (or something included
by it), I would be willing to say 3 times in the AUST_C_HERE
echo "I am a Borland Fan" (to the tune of "The Itchy and 
Scratchy Show" title as shown on the Simpsons).  Can you do
a search for these definitions in  to see if they
have been #ifdef'd out unless you do something-or-other.

 BV>> Then there is a minor problem with all of your findfirst() etc. stuff.
 PE>> MSC 6.0 is polluting the namespace with the word "MSDOS".
 PE>> Add "-UMSDOS" to the command line to get rid of it.

 BV> I know how to get rid of it, I just wanted to give you a hard time :)

BTW, I should point out that the default compile will mean that it 
can only process one file, which means that it is pretty useless
as a join utility, but it will go through the logic anyway.

 BV>> But other than that, you are probably correct :)
 BV>> Oh...I think there are a few type conversions or casts required too :)
 PE>> The conversions will only produce warnings.

 BV> Tehehehe...slack Paul :)
 
It doesn't come up with any warnings on the Borland compiler,
and I don't go out of my way to find lots of warnings. 

 BV>> But HEY, I'm not complaining :)
 PE>> Well you should be - about MSC 5.1.  Get a REAL compiler!

 BV> ROFL...that fits on one 360k floppy ? Are you for real ? :)

What about a 1.4 meg/1.2 meg floppy?  How often do you have to
do your development on a machine without one of those?

 BV> Visual C++ 1.5 professional is the latest MSC available unless you count
 BV> the Visual C++ 2.0 which is due for release next month or any day real
 BV> soon now. :)

Yeah, that sounds like a real worry.  BFN.  Paul.
