Greetings,

I've almost finished some patches trying to address the
"htsearch input parameters issue" (below).

I've updated  defaults.cc  to list all variables used by 
any of the programs (according to "grep config"), and 
described them as best I can.  Where they are different, 
the input parameters to  htsearch  are also listed, and 
cross-referenced in both directions.  Since no information 
is better than mis-information, there are some '??'s and 
'TO BE COMPLETED's.  Some entries which were out of 
alphabetical order have also been relocated. This patch is 
at
    http://www.ee.mu.oz.au/staff/lha/pub/patch.defaults

A second patch at
    http://www.ee.mu.oz.au/staff/lha/pub/patch.inputs
makes htsearch scan the existing  config  parameters, and 
overwrites them if they are given on the command line.  It 
also has the #ifdef option of checking that there are no 
invalid (hence ignored) command line arguments.  (This 
needs  cgi.h  to include "Dictionary.h", and I don't know 
how the  make  procedure handles dependencies, so it is 
disabled by default.)

Before I start testing, could you please confirm that these 
are on the right track?

Finally, the "current status" emails refer to problems 
numbers which don't match the SourceForge problem numbers.  
Where can I find the original numbering?

Thanks :)
Lachlan
