In the function doblock(p) there is described a variable 'char c;' which should be 'int c;', that's because the value which 'getchar' returns is placed in it (getchar returns int, EOF ((int)-1) when _End_Of_File_ is reached), thus when there is a char which decimal value is 255 (read it to char and voila, it's -1==EOF) zeecode stops reading. I've tried CBW using files supplied and had no other problems. It really does the work for me. Markku Jarvinen, last `a' with two dots over it mta@tut.fi (internet) tut!mta (UUCP)
