[comp.sys.isis] util/{spooler.c,long_haul.c} under HPUX

ken@gvax.cs.cornell.edu (Ken Birman) (08/03/89)

HPUX users may run into problems compiling the new "spooler"
utility (files util/spooler.c, util/long_haul.c).  We are
looking into this and will have a revised version soon, but
you may want to edit util/makefile to not try and compile this
program until we do so.

The problems are due to non-standard include files in the HPUX
version of UNIX.  Hopefully, OSF will save us from this (or POSIX),
but for the moment these systems can be "standard" and yet have
totally non-standard include files.
