There is an arithmetic error in expr(1) which showed up in V7 and has been inherited in system 3 (what are we paying these USG guys for ?) ..... Code reads... long atol(); /* convert ascii to long */ ... ... register i; ..... i = atol(r1) - atol(r2); SCREECH ! What if r1 is small and r2 is big ? BANG ! change that register declaration to read long. --------------------------------------------------- How about a system 3 bugs group on the net ? Are you all ignoring system 3 and hoping it will go away or something ? Nice idea, but.... /anton aylward ..decvax!hcr!anton
