Miles,

Sorry about that!  We have not been able to compile rtl on a
great variety of machines.  This code compiles without complaints
using Sun's C compiler, so we were unaware of the problem.  Is it
possible that you could send me a list of filenames that contain
violations?  We will then correct this problem (and the > 14
character filename problem that was mentioned) and make a new
release.  Thank you for letting us know of problems with rtl.
