Apparently I didn't try hard enough.  Thanks for the tip.  I too get a
12377 byte pi.

I am having a few challenges running it however.  I have been unable
to use Ciderpress or AppleCommander to put this on a disk image and
run it.  However a2tools does work--DOS3.3 images only.

So now I have a DOS3.3 image with pi, when I BRUN PI I get screen
garbage when the following code is run:

        printf("Start time: %s\n",asctime(localtime(&starttime)));

This code works with any *NIX and Aztec C.  My emulator has the
Thunderclock card in slot 7.  If I use the no-slot clock it also gets
garbage.  So I am unable to time this without using a wall-clock.  Any
ideas?

Thanks.
