Is there any way to rectify this?.   B Not really, the original code was wrong, and the compiler was not H diagnosing the problem.  It also appears to be a common coding error in  older C programs.   F Some of the editors allow you to write macro programs in them so that H you can use those macros to automatically make many similar corrections.  D Arrays are passed by address on C.  When you explicitly add an & to E them, you are passing the address of the array variable instead of a  " pointer to the start of the array.  G So you are trying to pass a pointer to a pointer to an array where you  ; have told the compiler only passing a pointer to the array.   D In the case of an array declared the way that you have done the two F above, both values end up the same even though the types do not match.  F In other cases though, if you are working with pointer variables, the A resulting value is totally different, and will likely cause data  G corruption, as instead of passing the intended array, the usual result  ( is passing a pointer to the local stack.    > I used Compaq C v6.5 compiler.7 > Suggestion will be appriciable at this great moment!!   H I would recommend that you use the /WARN=ENABLE=(LEVEL4, QUESTCODE) and H first fix all of the warning messages, and then work on removing all of F the informational messages.  There may be some informational messages I that you can not remove and those can be suppressed with #pragma message   disable xxxxxx in the code.   I Also start looking at where you can add the "const" modifier to function   declarations and prototypes.  I This enables the compiler to better optimize the modules that call those  H routines, and such optimizations can be very important to I64 and Alpha - programs.  It may also detect some more bugs.   D In addition, any variables that are initialized at compile time and H never changed by the program should get a "const" modifier for the same  reasons.  A Pointer variables that always point to constant data that is not  ' modified should also get this modifier.    -John  wb8tyw@qsl.network Personal Opinion Only    ------------------------------  # Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2005 16:32:58 GMT 5 From: "Ed Vogel" <edward.vogel_stop_the_spam.@hp.com> @ Subject: Re: Need help to port VAX code to Alpha and to Itaninum1 Message-ID: <_MX%d.2055$KK7.498@news.cpqcorp.net>   : "Laksh" <lakshmanan.panneerselvam@hp.com> wrote in message< news:1111468051.137737.52690@l41g2000cwc.googlegroups.com...

This is probably the more important problem in practice, temporaryH connectivity problems.  If my DNS provider notices that I am gone, then,G after a specified timeout, multivax.de points to a special "offline IP" B address.  Presumably, this will inform senders to try again later.E However, for short-term problems, a backup-MX would help.  (Actually, H for multivax.de there is a backup-MX server, at my DNS provider.  What IA was wondering about was the possibility of using multivax.de as a C backup-MX server for other dynamic-DNS domains (at another physical A site, so they won't be down simultaneously).  I was thinking this C wouldn't work since multivax.de is a CNAME, but it appears to be an A A-record after all.  A lookup on the IP address won't resolve to  E multivax.de, but that shouldn't be a problem in itself.  Since an IP  I address can have more than 1 A-record, what's the reason to use CNAME at   all?)    ------------------------------   Date: 22 Mar 2005 06:48:04 GMT2 From: "Dave Weatherall" <djw-nothere@nospam.nohow>! Subject: Re: Windows anti-spyware ? Message-ID: <DTiotGxQ0bj6-pn2-TuduIEvDd3fm@dave2_os2.home.ours>   C On Tue, 22 Mar 2005 00:59:35 UTC, Paul Sture <paul.sture@decus.ch>   wrote:   > Dave Weatherall wrote: >  > <big snip> > : >  > The same reason Acrobat reader stays at 5.
