Would the developers of ELM 2.2 please finally correct the ridiculous situation, which has been there since ELM 1.5, whereby the ELM source contains no fewer than 4 versions of getopt(): filter/utils2.c:getopt(argc, argv, options) src/getopt.c:get_options(argc, argv, options) utils/fastmail.c:get_options(argc, argv, options) utils/getopt.c:getopt(argc, argv, opts) where there should be at most one, with the name 'getopt()'? More generally, there should be a 'lib' directory containing replacements for _all_ possibly missing libc.a stuff. Many thanks. -- Esmond Pitt, Austec (Asia/Pacific) Ltd ...!uunet.UU.NET!munnari!ausmelb!ejp,ejp@ausmelb.oz

That file is used by all existing directories. However, it is a much larger job to catch all other occurrances of where similar named routines do similar jobs slightly differently, but that also is on our list and we slowly tackle it. -- ===================================================================== Sydney S.
