Sorry, John.  I can't help you.  I didn't write that mind-bending piece of
code, so I have no idea how it's doing what it's doing.  It works for the C
compilers I've tried it with.

Thanks, Patricia.  Made me laugh.  :-) :-)

Paul

I got the same as John.... :-(

But it was worth it for .1 .... ;-)

Thanks Patricia.

I'm told it compiles ok on unix, and when I saw the output, realised that
I have a copy which works on VMS, from last year.  Probably from this 
conference, somewhere...

The original has worked for me on both VAX/VMS and Alpha/VMS systems.  I
don't know why it doesn't work on other people's systems.

Paul

 so how does a bozo like me who doesn't know C run this thing?

Extract one of the notes into a file, something.c.  Make sure you extract/
noheader.  Then just:

$ CC something
$ LINK something
$ RUN something

On VMS at least.

Paul

    I must have done something wrong.  VMS didn't recognize CC as a
    command.  Do I need to define it somehow?  I did the Link and got a ton
    of error messages.  It didn't run.
    
    Oh well...

    You probably don't have the Vax C compiler installed.  try this: 
    
    $ dir sys$system:vaxc.exe
    
    Mike
    
    

�    I must have done something wrong.  VMS didn't recognize CC as a

! shock horror ! Are you sure you spelt it right?  Both of the 'C's with 
the same key?

What do you *do* all day if you can't do a 'C' compile?  
	- Rhetorical, you don't really need to tell me! ;-)

When I wake up in the morning I can't do anything until I've done a bunch 
of #includes - 
#include prayer&Biblereading
#include clothes
#include breakfast

Only then am I ready to switch over to 
main() 
{
and get into the car to go to work.


but as for the rest, where it comes to and where it goes, I don't know.
I thought it was there, probably on day 5, but maybe it actually waited 
until the second week...

sorry

excuse me, but:

}

    OK, I found a system which has the executable installed.  When I did
    the "link som" I got the following:
    
    %LINK-W-NUDFSYMS, 2 undefined symbols:
    %LINK-I-UDFSYM,         C$MAIN_ARGS 
    %LINK-I-UDFSYM,         FPUTC 
    %LINK-W-USEUNDEF, undefined symbol C$MAIN_ARGS referenced
            in psect $CODE offset %X00000006
            in module SOM file SHR63:[HUNT]SOM.OBJ;1
    %LINK-W-USEUNDEF, undefined symbol FPUTC referenced
            in psect $CODE offset %X00000106
            in module SOM file SHR63:[HUNT]SOM.OBJ;1
     
    [my file name is som.c]
    Looks like Greek to me.
    
    Is this worth pursuing any further?
    
    Bing

    I got the original program to work with the DEC C compiler on Alpha, but 
    not the VAX C compiler.  
    
    It's actually kind of cute!

Bing,

I hope it doesn't spoil the fun for you, but if you like you can try to 
run it by :

$ Run FORTY2::user89:[yuille.public]seasonal

 - it takes out the fun of compiling and linking, but you can do that to 
   other programs, when there isn't such a rush for Christmas ... ;-)
