I have a tricky way to write generic routines in C, I make use of
the paste operator (##) to paste the target type to the data type 
and operations.  For example, an array of integers can be declared
by
     array(int) a;

and is implemented by
     arrayint a;

The problem is the implementation below only works on Turbo C 2.0
and Turbo C++.  I try it on Microsoft C 5.0 (sorry this is the only
version I have) and BSD UNIX.  It does not compile.  The BSD pre-
processor shows that the line marked with "PROBLEM" is translated to
arrayT instead of arrayint.

Is my method non-standard?  Will Microsoft C 6.0 handle it?
