        !            33: To: cat, franks
        !            34: Subject: vdformat
        !            35: 
        !            36: Vdformat checkin, several observations/problems:
        !            37: 
        !            38:        (1) The Makefile in ".../sys/stand" has "/users_2/franks"
        !            39:            as DESTDIR.  John: you really do need to adapt the existing
        !            40:            Makefile, or refine your new one back to the "release make
        !            41:            environment", before checking it in!
        !            42: 
        !            43:        (2) Ditto ".../sys/stand/vdfmt/Makefile"
        !            44: 
        !            45:        (3) The sub-directory for vdformat is a GOOD choice.  It requires
        !            46:            that RCS remove the "vdformat.c" and "vdformat.h" files at the
        !            47:            ".../sys/stand" level.
        !            48: 
        !            49:        (4) I would have preferred to see vdformat spelled vdformat, not
        !            50:            vdfmt, but that is merely a preference.  Namely, "vdformat.[ch]"
        !            51:            in sub-directory "vdformat", etc.
        !            52:            
        !            53:            If so, either (1) the executable object named vdformat would
        !            54:            have to be installed directly from the sub-directory, or (2)
        !            55:            the resultant object copied back up to ".../sys/stand" has
        !            56:            to have a funny name, or (3) the sub-directory has to have
        !            57:            a funny name.
        !            58: 
        !            59:            Isn't (1) the "common" standard?  That would be my preference.
        !            60: 
        !            61: The BIG question is: why a vdformat checkin (just for strtok?), and
        !            62: NOT a boot check-in????

        !            95: 
        !            96: The file 'vddc.h' is supposed to go in sys/vba/vddc.h not sys/stand. 
        !            97: If you move it over vdformat should compile.  Also note that DESTDIR is
        !            98: assigned to '/users_2/franks' in the makefiles.  This should not affect
        !            99: you but Bill still wants it removed.  You can either edit the makefiles
        !           100: (I would but...) or you can recheck them in from ~franks/checkin/Makefile
        !           101: and ~franks/checkin/vdfmt/Makefile.

        !           105: Stand/vddc.c had no real problems and the formatter does not use it so
