I was having a nose through the source for the native OS/2 KA9Q and 
was just having a fiddle to see if the archie client would fit into a 
cut down version of the Dos build.  Using djgpp/gcc just to check 
things a bit more closely than BC4, it spotted the following, line 
#897 of archie.c, within the function processline() :

    sTokens = sscanf(pBuffer, "LINK %s %s %s %s %s %s %s %d %d", 
                              pEntry->szLinkType,           ^^
                              pEntry->szType, 
                              pEntry->szName, 
                              pEntry->szHostType, 
                              pEntry->szHost, 
                              pEntry->szNodeType,
                              pEntry->szFileName,
                              &pEntry->sVersion);

there's no matching variable ptr for the last field.  A quick look at 
the archie 1.4.1 source suggests it could be replaced with '%*ld' to 
skip the magic number field.

Cheers,

      Graham.
