I'm not responsible for that code. I know it's wrong. It is, however,
something that I have to fix over and over and over again because one
of your co-workers at intel decided to use a bondage-and-discipline
definition of NULL in <stdio.h>. Technically correct, but practically
a problem.

I have better things to do with my time than fixing all the broken
software in comp.sources. If I can get it working by futzing around
in a defs.h file instead of groveling through the source to elm (a
particularly poorly written example), I will.

And: on an intel 80x86 (x<3) the best definition for NULL is (void *)0.

Period.
