Hello again,

The problem may not be what I thought it was at first.

When I try to run a program with the ported version of Skipper, I get the
following:

run ai211p;lib=s;xl="skipxl.skipper.design,xl.pub.sys"
UNRESOLVED EXTERNALS: dtod_  (LDRERR 512)
Unable to load program to be run. (CIERR 625)

When I look at the skipper source code, the only calls I find to anything
named dtod are referenced as dtod', which, thanks to Keven Miller and Jerry
Fochtman, seems to be a function in the compiler library and/or sl.pub.sys.
Where could the call to dtod_ be coming from? Is it possible to copy the
dtod' function in sl.pub.sys to be dtod_ in sl.pub.sys and still have
everything work? I'm kinda rusty on sl management.

Thanks, Art, for the tip on SRN. We're still a customer, using their IRIS
product. I'll contact them about costs to finish this port.

Thanks!
