I have been having a recurring problem when I try to make some of the public domain applications... During compilation of some C programs I will get an error along the lines of: Parameter list cannot contain fewer parameters than required by macro definition. This usually occurs (when it happens) in an include (header?, *.h type file) in a line such as: extern void *memcpy(); where memcpy has already been used in a macro definition such as #define DFmovmem(from, to, len) memcpy(to, from, len) I am attempting to compile this code on an ibm RS6k... Is this a simple thing or am I going to need to get hold of an experienced C-programmer (which I am not) to help me get this sorted out? -uncle dan
