Apple has repeatedly warned Developers (e.g., in Tech > Note #2, dated January 21, 1986) that this is a no-no. Is this a general compiler problem, or is it, rather, specific to some of the runtime libraries? The above explanation does not make this clear. I would appreciate some detail as to where the offending BSET instruction gets inserted into the typical C program. In particular, does a program using only "MacTraps" have this problem? -- **************************************************************************** * Dot seegnachur?
