jlh@loral.UUCP (Physically Pffft) (10/20/88)

While moving our source code from a Vax to a Sun I discovered that
someone wrote their own versions of _flsbuf, fflush, and fclose.  The
vax doesn't complain about this a bit but the Sun gripes (rightly so)
about duplicate symbols.  I need to know 2 things.  First, which version
is being linked into my code, the first one encountered or the last?
And, it seems to me I'd be better off renaming them to z_fclose, etc.
Anybody got some advice on this?  I should mention I haven't yet figured
out if his changes to these standard routines are only needed in his
code or if the entire application needs them.

The vax is running 4.3 BSD, the Sun 4.2 Release 3.5.
