HELP! - (nf) Message-ID: <1655@rlgvax.UUCP> Date: Sat, 4-Feb-84 02:05:04 EST Article-I.D.: rlgvax.1655 Posted: Sat Feb 4 02:05:04 1984 Date-Received: Thu, 9-Feb-84 06:48:43 EST References: <88@cfib.UUCP> Organization: CCI Office Systems Group, Reston, VA Lines: 16 I posted an article earlier mentioning changes to the S3 "nroff" (probably applicable to the S5 "nroff" as well) which add a VMUNIX compile option which works like the INCORE compile option, only it still thinks it's being built for a UNIX system. Thus, it doesn't use standard I/O or "malloc", and supports compressed macro packages, which make it run faster. It also includes some bug fixes (which, among other things, make it work with the "-me" package) and a fix so that it doesn't rely on a compiled-in notion of the current timezone but uses "localtime" to dissect a UNIX time-since-the-epoch value. I am posting a "diff -c" listing to "net.sources". (It is being done, in part, for the benefit of the UNIX System Development Group at Bell Labs - hint, hint, hint, hint, hint - after all, if System V is eventually going to get virtual memory, it may come in handy...)
