Yes, that's correct. And yes, there are other bugs in 5.0a includes.
Here's what they actually look like in Aztec 5.0b, functions.h:

long Examine(BPTR lock, struct FileInfoBlock *fileInfoBlock); 
	and
long ExNext(BPTR lock, struct FileInfoBlock *fileInfoBlock); 

Try to upgrade to Aztec 5.0c.  I understand it's the same as
5.0b...they just changed the installation program in 5.0c, as I
understand it. 

I rebuilt MG3a with 5.0c includes and had NONE of the warnings which
the (MG) documentation indicated were benign, but none-the-less a
result of bad prototypes in 5.0a.  However, I've had to fall back to
the 5.0a COMPILER to get MG3a to actually run.  Anybody else run into
this?
