Sean: If you are going to do this. Please make the changes against the CVS head and work on one module at a time. For example, add prototypes for all functions in the RX library and fix the code in the other directories that are affected. Send in that as a patch by itself. Please do not send in a patch that adds prototypes in 20 directories and produces changes in hundreds of files. The gatekeepers won't be able to review the latter and it won't make it into the tree. You are not the first to attempt to do this work. If we can't review the code and be confident that nothing was broken, its really hard to pull in the changes. Jeffrey Altman
