 The problem is this: ( gcc c.c ): 

c.c:5: initializer element is not constant 

It seems that gcc does not like 

FILE *of = stdout; 

with "of" as global variable. g++ does not complain about this and
produces executable code. 

I have not checked the FAQ - still have to find it on the web. 

Thanks for the reply anyway.
