trek73

Has anyone managed to get the recently posted trek73 running on a
machine that doesn't remap zero?  (ie not a VAX :-)?  I'm trying to get
it going on a Sun and I'm getting an awful lot of core-dumps which all
result from the assumption that:

	foo = (char *) 0;
	bar = *foo;

yields bar == 0.  It doesn't.  It yields a core dump :-(

I've found some of the more obvious problems (expecting strlen ((char *)
0) to yield zero) but there are some rather more subtle ones that
currently elude me.

[Postnews told me this was "rather small to be a source distribution"
--- presumably comp.sources.bugs is for distribution of bugs for
installation in working systems]
