1 These are the changes done by the `patches' file:
3 [These patches have been applied, more or less, so I don't supply the
6 Compilation of some portions is done conditional on the definition
7 of the following symbols:
9 BINARY Enables the usage of setmode under MSDOS (added binmode command)
10 BUGGY_MSC Adds #pragma_function(memset) to avoid internal compiler error
13 FORK Enables fork and changes the compilation of system
14 GETLOGIN Enables getlogin
15 GETPPID Enables getppid
16 GROUP Enables all the group access functions
19 PASSWD Enables all the password access functions
20 PIPE Enables the pipe function
21 WAIT Enables the wait function
22 UMASK Enables the umask function
24 S_IFBLK * Enables the block special device check
25 S_ISGID * Enables the setgid check
26 S_ISUID * Enables the setuid check
27 S_ISVTX * Enables the vtx check
28 unix * Compiles globbing for Unix
29 MSDOS * Compiles globbing for MS-DOS
30 Closes stdaux and stdprn on startup
31 Adds a copyright message for -v
32 Disables the compilation of my_popen, my_pclose as the
33 are in a separate file.
35 Symbols marked with * are defined in the compilation environment. The
36 rest should be added to config.h (config.h.SH). All functions when not
37 supported give a fatal error.
39 Added documentation for the binmode function in the manual.
41 Fixed the following bugs:
43 In eval.c function eval if ioctl or fcntl returned something
44 other than 0 or -1 the result was a random number as the
45 double `value' variable wasn't set to `anum'.
47 In doio.c function do_exec there were two errors associated with
48 firing up the shell when the execv fails. First argv was not freed,
49 secondly an attempt was made to start up the shell with the cmd
50 string that was now cut to pieces for the execv. Also the maxible
51 possible length of argv was calculated by (s - cmd). Problem was
52 that s was not pointing to the end of the string, but to the first
55 [These are incorporated in patches 15 and 16--law]
