DHOSEK@HMCVAX.CLAREMONT.EDU (Don Hosek) (05/28/91)
A small patch has been applied to ega2mf.c and vga2mf.c to allow those
programs to be compiled with VAX C (and possibly others). The following files
have been affected:
ymir.claremont.edu:[anonymous.tex.mf.ega2mf]ega2mf.c
ymir.claremont.edu:[anonymous.tex.mf.ega2mf]vga2mf.c
ymir.claremont.edu:[anonymous.tex.mf.ega2mf]00readme.txt
The patches were received from Brian Hamilton Kelly and applied manually to
the programs. The following is the update to 00readme.txt:
% 91/05/24 Brian {Hamilton Kelly}, checking that the programs would work
% under VAX/VMS, replaced the line reading
FILE *f1,*f2;
% in each source with these lines
FILE *f1=(FILE *) NULL;
FILE *f2=(FILE *) NULL;
% (In C, there's no guarantee that automatic variables will have _any_
% particular value, let alone the (FILE *)NULL that was necessary here
% with the method the program uses to prompt for missing command-line
% arguments. Perhaps he was just lucky with his Unix & DOS :-)

Don Hosek | To retrieve files from ymir via the mailserver,
dhosek@ymir.claremont.edu | send a message to mailserv@ymir.claremont.edu
Quixote Digital Typography | with a line saying send [DIRECTORY]FILENAME
714-625-0147 | where DIRECTORY is the FTP directory (sans
---------------------------+ "anonymous") and FILENAME is the filename, e.g.
"send [tex]00readme.txt". There is a list of files in each directory under the
name 00files.txt. Binary files are not available by this technique.
