Replies to your comments:

> This is a bit odd. You invoke no function.
I have narrowed the source down to find the part causing trouble,
so I have deleted almost anything.

> Some reason for include conio.h?
Sure, I needed part of its screen-write functions.

>OTOH, are you sure that this is your real code?
Yes - amongst other attempts to avoid the error messages.

>On my system, ther are no problems.
Are you using the new CGG 3.3 version?
(My old version of DJGPP was working fine, by the way.)

> Don't do that. Is a bad idea to edit any header file provided by the
compiler.
I had to - in order to compile properly.

Thank you.
