Apparently there is a bug in the 68881 scanf().  I talked to a Manx techie
this morning and gurued his machine, too.  He promised to keep in
touch and possibly fix the problem.  If you are getting bytten by this
bug, send me your e-mail address, and I'll see if I can't help you
out, too.

Of course, this doesn't help me at all on my assignment due tomorrow.

BTW, Manx tech has a Compu$erve E-mail address.  Does anyone know how
to get mail from the Internet to Compu$erve?  It would be nice to
avoid the telephone call from California to New Jersey.
