Subject: vdformat

Vdformat checkin, several observations/problems:

	(1) The Makefile in ".../sys/stand" has "/users_2/franks"
	    as DESTDIR.  John: you really do need to adapt the existing
	    Makefile, or refine your new one back to the "release make
	    environment", before checking it in!

	(2) Ditto ".../sys/stand/vdfmt/Makefile"

	(3) The sub-directory for vdformat is a GOOD choice.  It requires
	    that RCS remove the "vdformat.c" and "vdformat.h" files at the
	    ".../sys/stand" level.

	(4) I would have preferred to see vdformat spelled vdformat, not
	    vdfmt, but that is merely a preference.  Namely, "vdformat.[ch]"
	    in sub-directory "vdformat", etc.
	    
	    If so, either (1) the executable object named vdformat would
	    have to be installed directly from the sub-directory, or (2)
	    the resultant object copied back up to ".../sys/stand" has
	    to have a funny name, or (3) the sub-directory has to have
	    a funny name.

	    Isn't (1) the "common" standard?  That would be my preference.

The BIG question is: why a vdformat checkin (just for strtok?), and
NOT a boot check-in????

Subject: compilation problems with vdformat

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

	On the question of why vba/vddc.c has changed and not stand/vddc.c...
Changes were made in the way error reporting was done in vba/vddc.c.
Stand/vddc.c had no real problems and the formatter does not use it so
stand/vddc.c does not change at all...
