    I mean the replacements are appropriate for the given variables. The source   
   in question is anexample from K&R that prints a Fahrenheit - Celsius table. It   
   works everywhere but compiled under gno 2.0.6 so I moved and saved 2.0.6 /lib   
   and replaced it with    
   2.0.4 /library and now occ produces an exe that works, first tried replacing   
   orcacdefs but that didn’t work.

   That will make it a bit difficult these days. Maybe I can find some stuff   
   archived
