   Is "link step" defined in K&R C?   
      
   The compiler can provide definitions for H--which is the only symbol   
   missing a definition in the situation statement, IIRC--/to satisfy the   
   situation/.   
      
   Olcott: it might help to say, instead of that H and H1 are anchored in   
   the interpreter, that the interpreter defines the symbol "H", if that is   
   what you mean for your situation (I think it is but also my C   
   terminology is rusty). I expect Kaz will know, he's a real dab-hand.
