The problem is because ISO does not allow "$" in identifiers, but _some_
compilers do in order to access system-defined identifiers with "$" in
them---VAX VMS is notably one that has a few (do I remember SMG$ cor-
rectly?). Just a guess, but are you including the correct headers for
your _current_ compiler?

Best regards,
Derick.
