I don't understand why I have not yet seen the original posting in this news-
group, however I understand that a few people have had problems getting BIGSIS.C
to compile.  My fault.  Here is my 'standard' solution; sent to all who have
contacted me in person...

BTW, if anyone who is NOT on BITNET has seen the original posting, I'd like
to hear from you.  I am going to find out whoose mailer is loosing things.  I'm
getting pretty pissed that I can't seem to see anything I post to this newsgroup.

Comments, etc., to me.  Thanks.

------------------------------- how to fix BIGSIS.C ------------------------
Thanks for your response about BIGSIS.C not compiling correctly.
You were not the only one who informed me that BIGSIS.C would
not compile correctly with DEC C v2.[>0], so to make things
simple, I have created this document.  It will be sent to everyone
who expresses the same problem, so please excuse anything that
might seem 'simple' or 'obvious.'

Meanwhile, here is the procedure for making sure it will compile
on your system.  First, I'll tell you why it *didn't* work.

The 'globalvalue' statements in the code itself were to take
care of the fact that DEC C v2.0 didn't have complete .h files
in the distribution.  For everyone who is using something more
recent than v2.0, the correct .h files were provided by DEC, so
we can simply remove those lines.

So, to remedy situation #1, comment out all the 'globalvalue'
statements in the original source.  If you aren't familiar with
C, use the /* and */ statements to surround the offending lines.

E.g,
        OLD_49:   globalvalue JPI$_CLINAME;
        NEW_49:   /* globalvalue JPI$_CLINAME;

        OLD_56:   globalvalue JPI$_MAXDETACH;
        NEW_56:   globalvalue JPI$_MAXDETACH; */

Now, the second problem - not finding <pcbdef.h> and <statedef.h> -
was strictly inattention on my part.  I forgot that I created
special .h files to solve some problems.  Basically, these have
to be created because the source code references some VMS internal
values which aren't covered by the standard .h files included with
DEC C (another bug in my opinion).  In this case, we just want to
*add* some statements to the .h files and change two lines.

So, to remedy situation #2, first SET DEFAULT into the directory
where you now have BIGSIS.C.  Once there, you need to create two
files and modify the source once more.  The two files you should
create can be made by doing the following (replace the <CTRL/Z>
with the actual keystroke...):

	$ CREATE PCBDEF.H
	globalvalue PCB$V_BATCH;
	globalvalue PCB$V_NETWRK;
	<CTRL/Z>
	$ CREATE STATEDEF.H
	globalvalue SCH$C_CEF;
	globalvalue SCH$C_COM;
	globalvalue SCH$C_COMO;
	globalvalue SCH$C_CUR;
	globalvalue SCH$C_COLPG;
	globalvalue SCH$C_FPG;
	globalvalue SCH$C_HIB;
	globalvalue SCH$C_HIBO;
	globalvalue SCH$C_LEF;
	globalvalue SCH$C_LEFO;
	globalvalue SCH$C_MWAIT;
	globalvalue SCH$C_PFW;
	globalvalue SCH$C_SUSP;
	globalvalue SCH$C_SUSPO;
	<CTRL/Z>

Once these have been created, edit BIGSIS.C and change the angle
braces around pcbdef.h and statedef.h to be double quote marks.
Using quote marks tells the compiler to look for the files in the
current directory instead of SYS$LIBRARY: (which is where we have
just created the necessary files).

E.g.,
        OLD_59:   #include <pcbdef.h>
        NEW_59:   #include "pcbdef.h"

        OLD_60:   #include <statedef.h>
        NEW_60:   #include "statedef.h"

Now, you should be all set to compile again.  If you compile
and still have errors, please let me know.  It could be something
else I haven't seen yet, however the procedure I outlined to you
above has been tested on another site and worked properly.

In any case, sorry about the mess-up.  If I can help out any
further in making it work, please contact me.  Oh yes, comments
and suggestions are always welcome...

Thanks
