Correct! - I finally realized it after you pointed it out that the make clean
in the distributed makefile is rather dangerous in the distributed source.
It is no problem for my setup with the SCCS ( Source Code Control System )
files, but nasty for anyone else. I have changed this in the source base, and
the March distribution will contain the fix.
I also made the changes indicated to the makefile.ami that you sent out today.
Still on my list is the cleanup of strings.c and whether there is a common
include file for the AMIGA that casts malloc().
Anyone else is welcome to report bugs or observations. I expect to make
another distribution as soon as there is a critical mass of fixes or important
enhancements.
X*press continues to have problems with their computer today ( 2/15/94 ) I am
only seeing a trickle of articles, - no stock quotes.
This brings me to another topic. I am collecting the closing quotes for every
issue tracked in the standard feed. Occasionally, my system might go down, due
to power failure or cable problems. I wonder whether there is enough interest
to get someone else in the group who is doing like gathering of quotes to form
a networked backup, where if one system goes down, we can get the missing data
from another site. - comments?
