C compilers which ignore all but the first eight characters of variable names (cf. Kernighan & Ritchie, p. 33) accept the program as originally posted; the two names are effectively the same. Those which use the entire name complain that "monthly_int" is undefined. (Mine, obviously, is one of the former.) Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause; also, thanks to Andrew Lantz for bringing the error to my attention. Andrew W. Rogers, Intermetrics ...{harpo|ima|esquire}!inmet!andrew
