Yes, in both cases. This is a pedanticism of the HP compiler; it considers the prototype to have ANSI argument conventions (char and unsigned char really are only 8 bits) but it considers the definition to have K&R argument conventions (char and unsigned char are implicitly promoted to int). Most compilers recognize this case and accept it as a K&R->ANSI transition tool, but the HP/UX compiler insists that the two prototypes are not the same and rejects it. Solutions: - widen the chars to ints - move to ANSI prototypes - disable PARAMS() on that host until ANSIfication proceeds -- Todd Whitesel toddpw @ wrs.com
