Has anyone been able to get Doug Gywn's dir-lib to compile? I have the version from the net, with one patch, and the newest version from him, and they both compile with a warning. The warning varies, it depends on what memory model is being used at the time. The test program from the net version does not find and files at all, and the test program in the new version from him, dumps core. Working with the net version, when i compile with the large model i get a "conversion of long address to short address", and with the medium or small model i get "conversion of near pointer to long integer". All of this is in getdents.c in line 276. Does someone have a patch for the dir-lib routines for Xenix. The system is Xenix 286 rel 2.2.1. with the 2.2 Development system. -- Mark Seiffert, Metairie, LA. uucp: rex!mgse!marks bitnet: marks%mgse@REX.CS.TULANE.EDU internet: marks%mgse@rex.cs.tulane.edu

Yes, I have a very old version [ with a file descriptor bug fixed ] and it passes all of the tests Doug included. I can't say I compiled it on a 286, since I own a 386 ;-), but it has never not worked ... For the uninformed, it is in rpp386!/usr/archive/directory/dirent.shar.Z the login is 'uucp', no password. The phone number is in the .signature. -- John F.
