The port piscesIIB fail to compile on= 5.0 due to a more strict behavior of the new compiler which does not accept= initialization of variables with non-constant values. In the specific case= we have stdin (and stdout immediately after) assigned to a pointer-to-file= variable during declaration. =20 I suggest two possible solutions to this problem: 1) hardwiring throughout the library stdin and stdout 2) using a specific flag (during compilation) to allow for non-constant = initialization of variables. In the second case I need to know if such a flag exist in the new compiler. I will looking forward to hearing from you to select a choice.
