Request for missing function. Message-ID: <474@dalcs.UUCP> Date: Fri, 3-Feb-84 13:35:04 EST Article-I.D.: dalcs.474 Posted: Fri Feb 3 13:35:04 1984 Date-Received: Wed, 8-Feb-84 06:06:45 EST Organization: Dalhousie U, Halifax N.S. Lines: 17 I would like to use the CMU file package for maintaining my files of functions. In perhaps an uncharacteristic fashion, I prefer to comment my functions. For this purpose exists the function (dc). Unfortunately, (dskout) depends on (pp) to do the printing of functions, including attached comments, and our distribution of franz (opus 38.79 through 4.2 BSD) did not include the function (pp-comment), although (pp) does attempt to call it, resulting in an error. For the time being I am commenting with vi after completing all functions in a file. My basic request is for either an appropriate definition of the function of (pp-comment), or a description of the exact format in which (dskin) expects to see comments. Thank you in advance.
