HJ, This is the source of the current "libbsd.a" as I have it next to the libc 4.3.2. You can safely ignore the blahblah in the other README- throw it away after you added this stuff to the rest of libc... I think the best way to add this to the standard set of C libraries is to keep it in the form of a single non-sharable library (/usr/lib/libbsd.a) that only gets linked if the user asks for it by typing "-lbsd". I don't know if this is pos- sible, but I don't think it should be added to the "shared" image, because it might cause other problems in that case... Fred.
