#IX CAUSE LOSSAGE -- BUG FIXED BUT SUSPECT FILE IS OLDER
THAN IT SHOULD BE. I.E. FEAR THAT SOME PREVIOUS DEBUGGING
WAS LOST.

#IY SPURIOUS CALL TO BEXIT IF EXTERNAL PROC DECL IN SIM PROC
THE PROBLEM WAS KILL SET GOING OUT FOR BLOCK

FIXED BY NOT PUTTING OUT LVI FOR GLOBALS
[GEN] RHT (9-25-72)
#JA BEGIN INTEGER I; BEGIN DEFINE I=.... -- COMPLAINS ABOUT
DUPLICATE IDENTIFIER DECLARATION WHEN DEFINING I. THIS
IS DUE, POSSIBLY, TO DEFINES NOW BEING PLACED GLOBALLY EVEN
WHEN DEFINED LOCALLY -- SHOULD BE AT LEAST DOCUMENTED, SINCE
IT IS A DISTINCT INCOMPATIBILITY. (DCS)

[GEN/42] RHT (11-2-72)
#JZ FROM THIS DAY FORWARD, A MACRO WILL BE ENTERED ONLY WHEN IT IS FIRST
ENCOUNTERED. THEREAFTER, IT WILL ONLY BE REDEFINED, AT THE SAME BLOCK
LEVEL!! IN OTHER WORDS, SCOPE RULES ARE IGNORED AFTER FIRST APPEARANCE
OF A MACRO, UNTIL THE BLOCK IN WHICH IT WAS FIRST DECLARED GOES AWAY.
HOPEFULLY, LATER, A SEPARATE MACRO BLOCK STRUCTURE WILL BE INVENTED.

#KB SYNTUP CODE IN PRUP CLOBBERS LPSA BY CALL TO ZOTDIS

#KR DATUM(ITVARR[EXPR],REAL ARRAY)[1] IN A KKP PROGRAM CAUSED A
BAD STRING TO BE ENTERED FOR THE ARRAY NAME IN THE ARERR UUO
FOR THE BOUNDS CHECK ON [1]. THE REASON IS THAT THE SEMBLK
REPRESENTING THE RESULTANT REAL ARRAY DIDN'T HAVE A LEGITIMATE
ITEMVAR SEMBLK POINTER IN $VAL, SINCE IT'S SO COMPLICATED.
MAYBE IT SHOULD HAVE, BUT FOR THE PRESENT, I'VE INSERTED A
PATCH TO USE A DUMMY NAME FOR THESE GUYS
