this is fairly common with the plethora of C compilers around.  The error simply
means that the procedure fileProc() is expecting THREE parameters in your
library, while the one in the library used by the original programmer only
needed one on his system.  Simply check your manual and find out what you need
to add.... probably a couple of '0' or '1' are all that is needed.  Maybe one
of the parameters is a mode flag that the original didn't need.

A second option is that some compilers don't care if you pass too few
parameters, and the programmer got away with it.  anyway, it should be easy
to fix...
