Which advice did you follow?  Did you modify the source, or did you
use gcc -ansi?

I do remember getting some warnings from gcc back when I would build
and run this version (like the "comparison is always true" warning).

Ok, I guess you did not try -ansi to work around the gcc bug?

I think gcc should be made open source so people could fix its
bugs, and improve it. </joke>

Anyways, if you haven't already, I would check LJ Dickey's
archive at ftp://watserv1.uwaterloo.ca/languages/j/.
But I can't reach it right now, so can't look for manuals.
If it stays down for too long, I would email him (and if I
had the interest and time, I would set up a mirror of the
archive with mutual links back and forth between my mirror
and his archive).

Thanks,
