doscmd heavily depends on struct sigcontext which luckily is mostly passed
between functions as usion regcontext_t. By redefining union regcontext_t in
terms of mcontext_t almost all bases are covered.
It also seems to me that doscmd was in a transitional state. The redundant
definitions made it difficult to get a clear overview and could easily cause
oversight. To make sure my changes were ok, I went as far as to complete the
transition. It was not exactly necessary, but I expect to have to come back
here some more ("whistle" if I'm wrong :-).
-----------------------------
Most of the userland changes are in libc. For both the alpha
and the i386 setjmp has been changed to accomodate for the
new sigset_t. Internally, libc is mostly rewritten to use the
new syscalls. The exception is in compat-43/sigcompat.c
The POSIX thread library has also been rewritten to use the
new sigset_t. Except, that it currently only handles NSIG
signals instead of the maximum _SIG_MAXSIG. This should not
be a problem because current applications don't use any
signals higher than NSIG.
There are version bumps for the following libraries:
libdialog
libreadline
libc
libc_r
libedit
libftpio
libss
These libraries either a) have one of the modified structures
visible in the interface, or b) use sigset_t internally and
may cause breakage if new binaries are used against libraries
that don't have the sigset_t change. This not an immediate
issue, but will be as soon as applications start using the
new range to its fullest.
NOTE: libncurses already had an version bump and has not been
given one now.
NOTE: doscmd is a real casualty and has been disconnected for
the moment. Reconnection will eventually happen after
doscmd has been fixed. I'm aware that being the last one
to touch it, I'm automaticly promoted to being maintainer.
According to good taste this means that I will receive a
badge which either will be glued or mechanically stapled,
drilled or otherwise violently forced onto me :-)
NOTE: pcvt/vttest cannot be compiled with -traditional. The
change cause sys/types to be included along the way which
contains the const and volatile modifiers. I don't consider
this a solution, but more a workaround.
commit and those which cause ugly nroff output have been fixed, since
the purpose of the style guideline which they contravene is to reduce
the sizes of deltas.

February.
If you do a web search for "lionheart crowned" you'll get lots of
conflicting information. Some sites say 3rd September, while others
say 27th February. Most of the "27th February" crowd seem to take their
information from other incarnations of this file on other operating
systems.
After a very pleasant afternoon spent lunching with my girlfriend's
parents, I availed myself of their extensive reference library.
You'd be surprised how hard it is to get concrete information about this.
The _Encyclopedia Brittanica_ doesn't mention the date, only the year, as
does _Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable_, as do all the other printed
sources I tried. One of them even said July 7th 1189! Microsoft's (yeah,
so sue me) Encarta '95 has quite a comprehensive entry, but again, no
day and month information
In desperation, I tried the web once more, and finally stumbled upon
http://www.btinternet.com/~timeref/hsttime2.htm. This revealed that
Henry II died on 6th July 1189 (presumably the source of the 7th July
entry in another reference), and that Richard was crowned on 3rd
September.
Best of all, this site gives references. So if any of you have a copy of
_The Life and Times of Richard I_, John Gillingham, pub. George Weidenfeld
and Nicholson Limited, 1974, then you can confirm this for yourselves.
For completenesses sake, I tried to find an ISBN number for the above
book. But Amazon and Barnes and Noble don't appear to stock it (although
it looks like a revised version, by the same author, is due out in October
1999, in case anyone's interested).
