- I can't tell for sure from your rather vague reference, but my guess
- is that you are attempting to intialize a static or extern struct
- TagItem with a variable. This is illegal in C. You cannot use
- expressions that cannot be evaluated at compile time to initialize
- static or extern data items. If this is a wrong guess, please post
- the code that is producing the message and the actual text of
- the message.

- Please allow a little time... the tech support staff will be on
- holiday until Monday, January 4, and then I'm sure they will
- be backlogged for a few days.
