You can not just remove the far keyword as the far is
a predefined address used with the graph.h file (an
old 16 bit dos supported library that went away after
visual studio 5.0) The reason you got the error at
runtime was because the pointer was probably pointing
at a NULL value because you deleted far. If you are
going to use far, then make sure you include graph.h
(I am assuming you are compiling under windows with
visual studio) what version of visual studio are you
using? Visual studio 5.0 had graph.h and graph.c, but
they threw it out with the 32 bit compiler version
MSVS 6.0. You can try three things, use the obsolete
keywords try including WINDEF.H, or try to get graph.h
& graph.c, or just use the system time to seed your
random number generater, like
srand((unsigned)TIME(NULL)), which will use your
system time to seed the value for rand() function.
Remember to include <time.h> if you use this. I am
looking for the graph.h graph.c files also for my own
use, if you come across them please let me know.
