	Okay, this helps to clear it up. Thanks. ATTN: Sven Goethel, per
your earlier message about printf() not being a macro, I guess that on our
systems, the statement works because printf() is not a
macro. I suppose newer environments are making it a macro and that's where
it's falling over. From this page:
  http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html#known

"In recent versions of glibc, printf is among the functions which are
implemented as macros."

	Hope this helps...and I guess I have some work ahead of me on my
own project.
