Same results with Borland or Microsoft, problem solved by adding 'a/'

 PH> What two char constant? That's a FUBAR constant. It has no meaning.
That is your opinion, and I appreciate the advice.  When I have time
I'll probably completely rewrite these routines.  For now a simple
solution works best.  The goal was to allow code compiled with Borland
and MS to work in the same way.
