You mean Primos C isn't the only one with the "extention"? Primos C also does some bogus things with casts in procedure calls to "fortran" (anything other than C must be declared fortran). A code fragment: fortran void tnou(); /* a routine from the standard library */ tnou((char [])"hello world", &(short)11); The (char []) cast is needed. Note you can also take the address of a cast expression.
