Or are you saying you'd prefer I work directly against current CVS? The current pretest is from a branch that has only bug fixes. The place we would install changes like these is in the CVS trunk, so please make them fit in there. > We might want to define bzero etc. in config.h, but the change > would have to be changed differently now. Alternately, I suppose all calls in the source could be changed to memcpy, etc., but I'm not sure what your preference would be. I'd rather change bzero in a configuration file, more or less as you did it.
