Mix C for CP/M is a victim of terminal neglect. It does more things wrong than right. While the MSDOS version has undergone many revisions in the past year, the CP/M version remains virtually untouched. All sorts of problems with blanks, unexpected reserved words, undocumented error codes, runtime anomalies, etc. Forget trying to port any non-trivial program to Mix C, you're wasting your time.
