-These are the changes done by the `patches' file:
-
-[These patches have been applied, more or less, so I don't supply the
-patches file--law]
-
-Compilation of some portions is done conditional on the definition
-of the following symbols:
-
-BINARY Enables the usage of setmode under MSDOS (added binmode command)
-BUGGY_MSC Adds #pragma_function(memset) to avoid internal compiler error
-CHOWN Enables chown
-CHROOT Enables chroot
-FORK Enables fork and changes the compilation of system
-GETLOGIN Enables getlogin
-GETPPID Enables getppid
-GROUP Enables all the group access functions
-KILL Enables kill
-LINK Enables link
-PASSWD Enables all the password access functions
-PIPE Enables the pipe function
-WAIT Enables the wait function
-UMASK Enables the umask function
-
-S_IFBLK * Enables the block special device check
-S_ISGID * Enables the setgid check
-S_ISUID * Enables the setuid check
-S_ISVTX * Enables the vtx check
-unix * Compiles globbing for Unix
-MSDOS * Compiles globbing for MS-DOS
- Closes stdaux and stdprn on startup
- Adds a copyright message for -v
- Disables the compilation of my_popen, my_pclose as the
- are in a separate file.
-
-Symbols marked with * are defined in the compilation environment. The
-rest should be added to config.h (config.h.SH). All functions when not
-supported give a fatal error.
-
-Added documentation for the binmode function in the manual.
-
-Fixed the following bugs:
-
-In eval.c function eval if ioctl or fcntl returned something
-other than 0 or -1 the result was a random number as the
-double `value' variable wasn't set to `anum'.
-
-In doio.c function do_exec there were two errors associated with
-firing up the shell when the execv fails. First argv was not freed,
-secondly an attempt was made to start up the shell with the cmd
-string that was now cut to pieces for the execv. Also the maxible
-possible length of argv was calculated by (s - cmd). Problem was
-that s was not pointing to the end of the string, but to the first
-non alpha.

-[These are incorporated in patches 15 and 16--law]
