Xenix 2.3 development upgrade problem (linking problem), answer

[Jonathan Bayer]

}Greetings, netlanders.
}
}     I recently upgraded my SCO Xenix development system from the 2.2 to
}the 2.3 system.  Now a program that used to link with no problems now
}has unresolved external references.  The references to wstandend() and
}wstandout() are due to a redefinition of those functions in the

}This is the link line:
}

}and these are the errors:

The following is an answer I received from someone at SCO. 
Unfortunately all I have is his account, "sco!jeffj".  I received a
number of replies from other readers, but this was the only correct
answer.  It turns out that this was the tip of a worm, and SCO is
currently re-evaluating a number of products which might have this
problem.  Thank you "jeffj", whoever you are.
