Why that following fragment of the program gives mistake of compilation for

L:\ZAICEV\MED\PROJ\MARS>sc  test.cpp -ml
    text->men[0].mstr;
             ^
test.cpp(20) : Error: 'men' is not a member of undefined class 'kmen
    text->men[0].mstr;

And for .C all is compiled normally!  In VC 1.0 too all O'k.  How to bypass
this problem?

kmen is nested inside defmen. You defined a new defmen class at global scope
with the declaration of text. The solution is to move the definition of
struct kmen into the global scope. -Walter
