I hope this one isn't a FAQ because I haven't found any mention
of this problem in all the official patch files I've FTP'ed.
I was messing with small freeware program (TURBO C v2.01) and
among the many warnings, these two error messages kept occuring.
I found that these errors occurr in any program where I use <dos.h>.
/* Here are the lines as edited from a couple printscreen dumps. */
void interrupt(* _Cdecl getvect(int interruptno)) ();
^
Error C:\Y\C\INCLUDE\DOS.H 180: Declaration syntax error
void _Cdecl setvect(int interruptno, void interrupt (*isr) ());
^
Error C:\Y\C\INCLUDE\DOS.H 211: Function definition out of place
The carets mark where TC had the highlight on when I reviewed.
The lines before and after were properly terminated by semicolons.
The program compiled after I commented these two lines in DOS.H.
FileCompare reported no differences from the factory disk file.
The declarations match the ones printed in my TURBO C Reference
Guide. I even had somebody send me a copy of his DOS.H (yea, I
know it isn't legal, but I'm getting desperate) and the lines
were essentially the same with a slight difference in white
space. I am facing re-copying the compiler from the floppy and
having to go through and reconfigure everything again. B-(
Can anybody help me set this right without having to spend my
non-existant money on an upgrade?

Of course these are my opinions, you'll have to go out and buy your own!
