PC = xPC ? xPC[0] : 0; UP = xUP; /* LMCL */ BC = xBC; /* LMCL */ > And change all the original occurences of UP to xUP and BC to xBC. In vnews 2.10.1 PC was declared char PC, and when I went to compile it I got this back from ld: ld: symbol PC multiply defined, first occurs in virtterm.o I fixed it by renaming PC to xPC and it compiled ok, but due to termcap troubles and the kernel unwilling to let it go (it survives a kill -9) I'm unable to get it running. We run 2.10 netnews because of base register problems (hopefully fixed) with our unix/370. I wonder does this have anything to do with my problems. -- Hug me till you drug me, honey!
