Subject: CP/M-related files in pd:<unix.cpm>

    I downloaded lar.c, xusq107.c, and xtype107.c from pd:<unix.cpm>
    compiled them and have curious results.  Compiles went fine.  lar
    prints the file names and sizes of a library without complaint and
    extracts a .dqc file without a complaint -- oh yes, the machine is a
    DEC 8600 under ULTRIX, a BSD 4.2 clone --.  However, xusq core dumps
    with a "segmentation error".  xtype does also.

    Any ideas.  Thanks for your time and thoughts.  Tom.

Yes, Tom.  xsq, xusq, and xtype were for earlier versions of Unix.
They don't work on BSD 4.2 and no one has fixed them, as far as I
know.  We've allowed them to remain for those using older Unix
versions and also in hopes that someone would fix them for 4.2.

There is a version of sq/usq that will work on BSD 4.2.  It's in:

Filename                       Type     Bytes   CRC

Directory PD:<UNIX.CPM>
SQU-PORT2.SHAR.1               ASCII    44835  1990H

This is a "portable" version of sq/usq that has been compiled and
tested the code with the following compilers on the following systems:

system "C" compiler          Xenix (Altos 586)
system "C" compiler          Unix BSD 4.2 (Vax 780)
system "C" compiler          Zeus (Zilog Z8000)
Computer Innovations C86       PC-DOS (MS-DOS) (IBM PC, etc.)
Computer Innovations C86       CP/M-86 (Altos 586)
DeSmet C88                     CP/M-86 (Altos 586)
Aztec C II                     CP/M-80 (CompuPro)
