****************** C Set/2   QUESTION ************************
I am trying to compile a Microsoft C 6.0 C program 
in C Set/2 version 1.00.

   The program compiles without errors in MSC 6.0.  But
   it is giving errors at one point.

 (i)  There is a structure like the one below in "prog1a.h":
   struct {
          short a;
          short b;
          short (* fun_name)();
   } command;

  (ii) There is an array of structures in "prog1.c"
       which has the above structure type.
       I am initializing the array of structures.
       commands cmd_array[] = { 
                              {1,    2,   Test1}
                              {3,    4,   Test2}
   };

  (iii) The problem arises in initializing.  Test1 and Test2 are given
        prototypes in a file called "prog1b.h" as
        
        extern short Test1(short p, short q, short r);
        extern short Test2(short x, short y);

  (iv) When I compile giving the command 
            icc /c /w3 /o+ prog1.c prog1a.h prog1b.h

       I get the following error messages:

       1. error EDC0227 : The return types of the functionm pointers are incompatible.
       2. informational EDC0140: Operand has type pointer to _Optlink function returning signed short integer.
       3. informational EDC0140: Operand has type _Optlink function returning signed short integer.

       WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
       How should I initialize a table with function pointers?
       In MSC 6.0, the function name evaluates into pointer expression.
       How about C Set/2?
       What is wrong in the above code?


I WOULD HIGHLY APPRECIATE SOME HELP.

Thanks in advance.
