The biggest problems I've found with DRI C is that it is VERY sensitive to parameters matching. I've found several programs I've ported from MS-DOS that work happily there but give me mushrooms on the ST. So far, the problem has ALWAYS been mismatched parameters. You have to pass ints to ints, chars to chars, and pointers to pointers. (and longs to longs!). Any mismatch, and bye bye. Hope that helps. Bruce Wampler - ucbvax!unmvax!wampler
