C++ is supposed to be upwards compatible with C. Can anybody, therefore,
explain why the following does not compile (under 4.2):
# include <sys/param.h>
# include <sys/time.h>
# include <sys/file.h>
# include <stdio.h>
# include <strings.h>
# include <grp.h>
extern char *getlogin ();
char *basename, *cp, **cpp,
*holidays = "/usr/games/lib/holidays", /* format is dd/mm/yy */
holbuf [10], realgame [100] = "/usr/games/bin/",
*sorry [] =
{ "Games may not be played on working days between 09:00 and 17:00.\n",
0
},
*scorers [] = /* games which use "-s" to print scores */
{ "rogue",
"robots",
"hack",
"rogomatic",
0
};
int fd = -1, wizard, group, ngroups = NGROUPS, goodguy, glist [NGROUPS];
/* rest of program deleted for clarity */
