                     32: From: woe ( Bill Ellis)
                     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????

                     94: Subject: compilation problems with vdformat
                     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. 
                    102: 
                    103:        On the question of why vba/vddc.c has changed and not stand/vddc.c...
                    104: Changes were made in the way error reporting was done in vba/vddc.c.
                    105: Stand/vddc.c had no real problems and the formatter does not use it so
                    106: stand/vddc.c does not change at all...
