A final call for hc bug reports appeared on comp.sys.ibm.pc.rt today.
We should make sure IBM is aware of all bugs we know of.

Hello everyone,
I've just isolated a bug in the 2.1z version of the Metaware High C compiler,
and received a set of bug-exercising pascal programs for their 3.0 Professional
Pascal compiler, so I'm starting what may be the final round of compiler
back-and-fourths for both the C and Pascal compilers. I've sent in all the
2.1y reports I've received - those of you who got acks back from me know
this - what I'm solliciting here are final 2.1y and pp3.0 bugs.
What works best, especially if your problem code is part of an application
with (re-)distribution restrictions (e.g., Pike's son-of-sam editor), is
the preprocessor output - so run whatever makefile you have, catch the stdout
in a bucket, edit the line specific to the file(s) where the compiler fails
or generates bogus code - change the "-O" to a "-E" and run as a makescript.
Now all the code dependencies (includes) are present in foo.c.E
If the output is huge or consists of several files, send me a floppy or a
tape at:

If the output size < sizeof(internet-mailer-reasonable), then send it via
email. If you've internet access, use "brunner@monet.berkeley.edu" - this
is the simplest address. If not, use relative bang addressing to uunet,
and I'm at "...!uunet!ibmsupt!brunner".
Thanks in advance!

trying to understand multiprocessing is like having bees live inside your head.
