Please change it back before you apply my patches.  I've 
completely changed it.  It works better now, and you don't
have to recompile ssystem.c over and over again but only
before mint*.prg is linked together.

As I already said:  Library bindings should fix that.  No problem
since Ssystem() allows to request the patch level.  But before
any further change we should for a decision on the format (see my other
