CVS Updated
*** NOTE - WARNING ***
The default format for variable length sequential files
has changed !!!
Here is the relevant part from README for "configure":
--with-varseq=<n>
Define the format for variable length sequential
files. For these files, 4 bytes are written
preceeding each record. The format of these 4
bytes for values of <n> is as follows :
n = 0 (default)
The first 2 bytes are the record length
in big-endian order. This is compatible
with mainframe. Bytes 3 and 4 are set
to binary 0.
n = 1
The 4 bytes are the record length in
big-endian order.
n = 2
The 4 bytes are the record length in
native machine order (int).
(This was previously the default)
This change goes back to a request from David Korn
that I agree with.
NOTE - This does NOT apply to INDEX-SEQUENTIAL files
nor LINE SEQUENTIAL files ( obviously :-) )
Use "bsearch" for table lookup in compiler.
This allows us to define tables in read-only section.
Move certain routines from termio.c to common.c
This allows us to define certain things as static.
Further cleanup's to remove not used code.
