      I could be here all day: by LionsPhil 2005-02-14 05:57:56
I have the feeling something is not exactly right, however...don't tell me...lemme think...does HAL ring a bell?...no, of course, you're only running OS/2! (Or you may be running DOS with DJGPP.)

Since you are running AFS, I need to distinguish the directory in which files will reside from the directory in which they are installed (and from which they are presumably copied to the former directory by occult means).

You cannot have filenames longer than 14 characters. Sigh.

You can't have filenames longer than 14 chars. You can't even think about them!

Figuring out host name...
Maybe "hostname" will work...
Oh, dear. Maybe "/etc/systemid" is the key...
Whadyaknow. Xenix always was a bit strange...

(What is a non-Xenix system doing with /etc/systemid?)

No, maybe "uuname -l" will work...
Strange. Maybe "uname -n" will work...
Oh well, maybe I can mine it out of whoami.h...
Does this machine have an identity crisis or something?

I can't find the O_* constant definitions! You got problems.

I did a successful read() for something that was not there!

Something terribly wrong happened during testing.

This is (almost) impossible. If your NFS lock daemons are not feeling well, something like this may happen, please investigate.

Well, your system knows about the normal fd_set typedef...but not the normal fd_set macros! Gaaack! I'll have to cover for you.

Well, your system has some sort of fd_set available...but not the normal fd_set macros! Gross! More work for me...

Ah, yes! The good old days! However, in the good old days we don't know how to stringify and catify at the same time.

Hmm...You had some extra variables I don't know about...I'll try to keep 'em...
