 ### STATUS: main() function args not allowed - please help us fix
 
-This entry is a big problem for clang due to the way it is designed. An alt
-code, added by Cody, was made that lets the program work and some of the
-generated files work but as `ver2` and `ver3` cannot be compiled even with gcc
-(syntax errors) this is in the alt version.
+This entry is a big problem for clang due to the way it is designed; only the
+first (the same as the original) and second (`ver1.c`) will compile with clang.
+However all will compile with clang. Cody has made good progress and he intends
+to work on it more, hopefully solving it, but at this time only gcc will fully
+work. This is better than it was when there had to be alt code because some
+versions did not compile with any compiler, not just clang.
 
-The problems with clang is that it does not allow `int` for any arg in `main()`
-except the first one, argc, and some versions of clang do not even allow a
-fourth arg at all (0, 2 or 3 args only).
-
-Cody noted that trying to fix it in some cases causes a segfault and in other
-cases it fails to generate some of the files (others are okay) at all (empty
-files). These changes were never committed.
-
-The file [westley.alt.c](1989/westley/westley.alt.c) will compile with clang
-but although it can perform some of its functions.
+The `ver2` and `ver3` cannot be compiled with clang due to wrong arg types to
+`main()` and in some versions of clang, too many args to `main()`.
 
+With gcc, however, all the versions work.

 The [compile.sh](1989/westley/compile.sh) script that removes the generated
 code, rebuilds the program and regenerates the other code and then compiles it
 will work for compilers like gcc and one can then use the
 [try.sh](1989/westley/try.sh) script to see example input and output.
 
-The [compile.alt.sh](1989/westley/compile.alt.sh) script does the same but for
-the alt code, which as noted above, can only compile the first two generated
-versions, at least at this time. The [try.alt.sh](1989/westley/try.alt.sh)
-script is like the [try.sh](1989/westley/try.sh) script but it uses the alt code
-and alt generated versions instead.
