So, I am cleaning up more autoconf cruft, and one remaining thing is the OS-specific defines. I don't think anyone will object to the removal of SCO_5_STDIO specific code, but there is one that is used a surprising amount: BSD42.
This code has two purposes: if you have a & in the GECOS field, it substitutes in your login name in to your real name field. Personally I always found this feature a bit dubious, and from my experience not much supports that. I propose we just junk this support. The other use of BSD42 seems to be in msh.c; basically, if we get interrupted in a signal, longjmp() out of the signal handler back to the main command loop. I guess this code was before signals interrupted system calls? Anyway, I am thinking that this can be junked as well. Any objections? (Okay, for purists; BSD42 also controls the use of the MIME content cache, for reasons I do not pretend to understand). --Ken _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
