A large list of context "diff"s for the version of RCS distributed with 4.3BSD have been posted to "net.bugs.4bsd". They fix it so that it can be built for S3 and S5 systems (regardless of whether those systems support "sendmail" or not), and will work on systems that don't permit you to dereference null pointers or where "int"s, "long"s, and pointers of various types aren't the same size. It mostly passes "lint", but there are a few cases where "lint" may be complaining about real problems; those have been left alone. Note that if you want to bring this up on a system not running 4.3BSD (or, at least, not running the 4.3BSD versions of "diff" and "diff3") you'll have to bring those up as well. You should also bring up the version of "patch" distributed with 4.3BSD; the context "diff"s amount to about 190KB, so you may not want to apply them manually.... -- Guy Harris {ihnp4, decvax, seismo, decwrl, ...}!sun!guy guy@sun.com (or guy@sun.arpa)
