I have a problem which I have not been able to overcome and was
wondering if anyone out there could help.

I was sent a piece of C source which I have been unable to compile.  I
am using Boralands Turbo C ver 1.0 and the code in question is

#ifdef __TURBOC__
unsigned _stklen = 0x3fff;	/* increase stack from 4K to 16K */
#endif

I have defined __TURBOC__ but ia am getting a message saying that this
is an error "error -redeclaration of __stklen"

There is not other manual decrlartion of this in the code that I can
find.

It also coplains at 

typedef unsigned char  int8u;

but not at 

typedef unsigned long  int32u;
typedef long		int32;
typedef unsigned short int16u;
typedef short		int16;

Any ideas?

Thanks
Ro.

ps other people have compiled this code on pcs with other compilers so
it should work and I have managed it on a sun.  I am just looking for
an idea as I have no other pc compilers and would like it on the pc.
