	The problem is that "ch" is defined as a "register char" --
remove the "register" part and it will compile. My compiler
complained, but did not barf, on this.  It is really not a wise idea
to take the address of a register (they typically live at address 1 or
thereabouts). I got two of these messages overall, so you may run into
another.
