Phil,//
I've been trying out your c-version of snobol on our RS6000
under AIX: same configuration as in our earlier correspondence.

What I notice when the disk is full is that I do not get a
failure on output, but the program gracefully terminates
at the point where I try to open an output file without
continuing to the next line or to a goto and it does not
produce end of program statistics.

In my test case, I needed to process 11,000 files. The program
ran through 200+ of them and then I was back to the prompt.
Tests showed that the error was on the OUTPUT(.Filename...)
line and that no subsequent message would print when
no gotos were present. Adding a :F(FRETURN) also did not
get picked up.
