The latter was exactly the problem that raised the question. I corrected it in csa.c, so that the MSVC compiler woudl accept the code. One thing I find quirky about this style of programming (and it is ubiquitous in Java and C++, where declarations can occur anywhere in the code) is that sometimes, changing the code in a loop forces you to move the declaration outside the loop, thus increasing the scope of the variable. If that does not happen, however, such a restricted scope can greatly help understanding the code.
