Ted certainly did that a lot.

Is this style of declarations common?

char
        *bbit,
        *abbit,
        *state,
        *lc,
        pathname[200],
        *pp,
        *name,
        sflag,
        nflag,
        yflag,
;

unsigned
        dsize,
        fmin,
        fmax
;

I've not seen that before, if it's fairly unique then we might be able to
figure out who wrote this stuff (or did I miss that and we know already?)
