Warren Swan has pointed out a couple of potential problems in e if
you are at a non-BSD site. The line
struct sgttyb blk;
at about line 475 in e.c is totally useless. I have no idea how it
crept into the code - you should remove it. (BSD'ers can remove it too.)
The other (bigger) problem is with the opening and reading of
directories. I used the BSD opendir()/readdir() functions to handle all
that for me and was told that these were available on non-BSD unices if
one #included <ndir.h>. If you don't have ndir.h then you will have to
read the directory in the "normal" open/read fashion, or take out the
cross directory searching completely (which would be a pity). ndir.h
seems to exist in v8, but perhaps not in SysV - can anyone fill me in
on this?
If enough people encounter this problem then I'll do a rewrite using
only open/read and repost it.
