Thiis article is posted in response to inquiries I have received with regards to ST COMM, a program I wrote with the HABA HIPPO C compiler. As posted, and using the HABA HIPPO C compiler, the program comppiles and runs withoout error. If one attempts to compile it using the DRI C compiler provided with the development package, errors will result. I was unaware of this until Alan Kenington wrote me. His analysis seems to make sense: HABA HIPPO C defines an 'int' as a 32 bit quantity. DRI C defines an 'int' as a 16 bit quantity. Alan says that the errors occur with the 'switch (c)' statement; and they are due to the different 'int' representations of the compilers. I hope this helps anyone encountering these errors. It has been a while since I posted the source, and I am not thhat familiar with it anymore. Maybe Alan will read this and repost his analysis for all to digest.
