In their recent posting David Dyck and Henry Spencer discussed a ACK
compiler bug that is well known:

Perhaps PC users should read ST related articles, too !

I described 3 compiler bugs and how they can be avoided within 3 articles
in the first half of June ! There I explained that the ACK ignores
(unsigned)- casts on signed characters.

Furthermore I posted all cdiffs that are necesarry to port ZOO to Minix ST.
Why didn't you take them as a base -- you would have avoided all trouble
with the ACK compiler and would just have to surround the 64k limit.
