   Hi Andrew,

    AL>    Hello Ulrich!

   first, I've found the compile problem that is caused by   
   the filepointer around BatchFILE in main routine (makenl.c  line ~325)   
   see latest report under bug#17   
      
   What I could debug down is that the routine SearchMaxMSG() crashes   
   in the return sequence to the calling routine OpenMSGFile()   
      
   Whatever workaround I've tried to fix the return sequence   
   it crashes under OS/2 32-bit  :(   
      
   the problem may relate to the local int variable, that will be used   
   to return the result to the calling routine, where the result   
   will be assigned to a static int variable.   
   Don't know if there is a problem in the byte length of the used integer   
   variable under SearchMaxMSG() ?!?   
   Another problem that I've found, while declaring and defining   
   a 0 value to an integer variable in the SearchMaxMSG() routine was:   
      
   version a:   
      int maxnum = 0;   
      print maxnum results in =>  710691913   
      
   version b:   
      int maxnum;   
      maxnum = 0;   
      print maxnum results in =>  0            (as expected)   
      
   so whatever memory block has been read under version a, it tells me   
   that something unusual is going on here with the integer type   
   of the used variables   
   At least this indicates the crash by an integer return of   
   the SearchMaxMSG() function  (is a 64 bit integer required here ?!?)   
      
   Someone with much more C/C++ experiences then me should dig into this code   
   section   
      
      
    AL> Andrew   
      
   regards, uli   ;-)
