... which the compiler no longer understands (it has been removed in
Visual Studio 2005; Visual C++ 6.0 should be OK).  I don't know
whether this flag was essential with earlier versions of this
compiler; I've just removed it.

Hmm.  Visual C++ 8.0 now wants to use fopen_s() instead of fopen()
(while Visual C++ 6.0 likes it), but this function has a different
calling syntax.  I've fixed this with

  #define _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE

to suppress those warnings (and we are C, not C++).  Please try the
attached file.

Suzuki-san has mentioned that he will handle this and your other
reports.
