Although maybe the folks who wrote Apollo's C compiler are joking. My supervisor has been compiling some C code on our Apollo workstations,and an error message comes up which is not explained at error time, nor in any manual. All it says is "Irish Alert" followed by a bunch of addresses and system garbage. The folks at Apollo got a real chuckle when we told them about it, and they're looking into it. Does "Irish Alert" have any general meaning in the C language, or is it specific to Apollos? Does it mean that a potato famine is coming? Greg Sandell
