The following drove me nuts: for(x=-1; x<=1; x++) { ... } I wanted to loop from -1 to 1. However, the above is ambigous, it is an old style declaration. I did not find out until I tried my prog on our UNIX system. The UNIX cc gives: Warning: oldstyle declaration on line xx. Laser gives no such warning and actually takes whatever the previous value was and drecrements it by one. then does the loop. not what i thought it would do. just thought I should let someone know.
