Thank you for your replies.  They have been very helpful to me.  I have got=
ten the code to compile properly now.

It is also good to have your advice on how to approach these problems.  Alt=
hough for my current purposes there is no significant difference between st=
arting indices at 0 or starting them at 1, I can now see where this sort of=
 flexibility could be a major advantage; for example, in one algorithm for =
converting between Julian days and calendar dates it would be convenient to=
 have an array of integers with indices ranging from 3 to 14.  I also take =
your point about avoiding anonymous arrays.
