I sent this message to the list yesterday, but I have never seen it, Sorry if you see it twice. --- When I use gcc, (FC4) I find that the error messages are 'full' of the character a-hat, viz interest-rate.c: In function â: interest-rate.c:20: error: â undeclared (first use in this function) (I hope that they show in this e-mail). What am I doing wrong and/or what do I need to do to fix this ??? Im sure this has come up before, but I cant find it... -- Reg.Clemens reg@xxxxxxx
