[net.unix] SPMS

psa@sri-spam.arpa (09/17/86)

We have an old version of SPMS.  I'd appreciate it if someone could tell
me where I can get the latest source.  Thanks in advance.

SPMS is available on 4.3BSD.

The following bugfixes and changes have been made to SPMS since 4.2BSD.

1.	The mkmf makefile editor is now independent of SPMS. It has also
	been extensively revised. See the mkmf README for more details.

2.	Pgrep: The exit status is now zero if any matches are found, and
	1 if there were no matches. Previously, pgrep always returned 1.

3.	Plog: The buffer that stores the  "From:"  mail header line  has
	been declared static.

4.	The  project  pathnames  in two tables on pages 15 and 26 of the
	SPMS user's guide have been corrected.

Bugfixes/Changes to mkmf:

1.	Mkmf was previously part of the SPMS Software Project Management
	System. It is now completely independent.

2.	Mkmf now searches for include files in the directory  containing
	the  file  currently  being  processed,  rather than the current
	working directory. This only affects nested include files  which
	are external to the current working directory.
3.	Mkmf now reads multiple -I options in  CFLAGS  and  FFLAGS  cor-
	rectly.

4.	Mkmf can now process the example  presented  by  Kim  Walden  in
	Software-Practice and Experience,  vol. 14,  no. 6, pp. 575-585,
	June 1984.
