Annotation of 42BSD/usr.bin/uucp/LIBNDIR/README, revision 1.1

1.1     ! root        1: The purpose of this library is to simulate the new flexible length
        !             2: directory names on top of the old directory structure. It allows
        !             3: programs to be converted to the new directory access interface, so
        !             4: that they need only be relinked when 4.2bsd becomes available.
        !             5:        ucbvax!mckusik
        !             6: 
        !             7: CHANGE NOTICE:
        !             8: The include file is now called <ndir.h> rather than <dir.h>
        !             9: to avoid conflicting with the old style directory include file.
        !            10: On a 4.2bsd system, <ndir.h> and <dir.h> should be identical.
        !            11: Please notify me if there is a better solution.
        !            12: 
        !            13: In ndir.h, certain data types are #define-ed for the benefit of non-4.xbsd.
        !            14: In telldir.c, lseek() is declared long for the benefit of non-32 bit systems
        !            15:        (credit to Mike Mitchell, ikonas!mcm)
        !            16: 
        !            17: The call to telldir in seekdir has been removed,
        !            18: because telldir had been thought to be wrong.
        !            19: It is actually okay, but the call was not put back in.
        !            20:        Tom Truscott (rti!trt)
        !            21: P.S.  Also, ignore the "Error code 1 (ignored)" produced on some systems.
