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.
