Way way back, a long long time ago, Dave Taylor said: |As Eric Christensen mentioned, I did a fair bit of work in 2.01 |to allow people to include just what pieces of the program they |wanted to have around. I can't offer the actual set of |#ifdef statements, but to help support it, I added a new |flag to the program, "-v" (version), and thought people |might be interested in the output: | % elm -v | Elm Version and Identification Information: | Elm version 2.01 (alpha-release) of April 1988 | (C) Copyright 1986, 1987, 1988 by Dave Taylor | ---------------------------------- | built Thu May 5 11:19:36 PDT 1988 | ---------------------------------- | From: and Reply-To: addresses are good: USE_EMBEDDED_ADDRESSES | User-specified name resolver disabled: not ENABLE_NAMESERVER | Prefers internet address formats: INTERNET_ADDRESS_FORMAT | No debug options are available: not DEBUG | crypt function turned OFF: not ENCRYPTION_SUPPORTED | Mailbox editing not included: not ALLOW_MAILBOX_EDITING | Forms mode turned OFF: not FORMS_MODE_SUPPORTED | HP softkeys disabled: not HP_SOFTKEYS_SUPPORTED | (no HP terminals at your facility?) | Mail bounceback turned OFF: not BOUNCEBACK_ENABLED |Seemed a bit more useful than the old "what(1)" output... Which I thought was a great idea (why I saved the message), but it never seemed to make it into elm. Has anyone added it? Did it, in fact, make it into ELM 2.3? Does someone want to add it? Yea, yea, *you* probably could've added it in the time I took to write this message (and dig out that old message of Dave's), but if *I* add it to elm and post (and mail to Syd) the patches, you'll laugh at my c programming ability.... :-) aem a.e.mossberg - aem@mthvax.cs.miami.edu/aem@umiami.BITNET - Pahayokee Bioregion Wine is but single broth; ale is meat, drink, and cloth. - 16th century proverb

No this never did make it into 2.1. And I do not have the code in the archives that did this, when 2.1 was in development, this code was not in it. I do not know what happened to it. In 2.2, and 2.3 we did not even consider adding it. Note: This is really only outputing messages in regard to the major Configure options. The code is easy to add, but no one has submitted it for inclusion into 2.3. -- ===================================================================== Sydney S.

Well, I got impatient. I went ahead and add this myself. Here's what
it does, the way I added it:
ibiza% elm -v
Elm Version and Identification Information:

and here's the patch to add it to your copy of Elm 2.2, PL10, if you
so desire...

Now, I have no doubt of the weakness of the addition, and invite any of
*you* to do it right. I'm sure other options could be
added to the output as well.
