I've converted rmail, rnews, pnews, mail, unbatchfc. What it comes down to is yo uhave to make a system() function that uses fexecv() to replace Lattice's system(), and remove the chdir() and getcwd() calls and make the file open's have explicit addresses; fortuneately, most of them are already; and acount for some string functions that Lattice 5.0 has that manx doesnt. Edwin Hoogerbeets has written all the required string functions and I coerced him to write chdir and getcwd as well. Theo de Raadt supplied a system() function, so it's easier that it would appear on first guess. -- ``Parents who have children, have children who have children'' richard@gryphon.COM decwrl!gryphon!richard gryphon!richard@elroy.jpl.NASA.GOV
