Thanks, Andris.

I should have thought of "const" myself.

There was a program in a book I'm reading on VC++ programming.  It
worked fine on Microshaft, but the GXX executable kept yelling
"Abort!"  I pared down the original program, trying to isolate the
problem.  I tried a lot of things, but not "const".

That will teach me to trust what I read -- as per the recent thread on
Schildt's books.  (I did like his Born To Code In C, though.)

Thanks again!
