Well, after a barrage of plaintive cries & diffs, we present the first set
of patches to Clam 1.3. Please apply these patches to Clam, as further
patches will be relative to these!

Now a few words on the patches, & the mail we've been getting on Clam:

1) Jwahar Bammi was hot off the mark with the diffs to get Clam working
   under GnuC on the Atari ST. If anybody else is using GnuC, look at
   his included libraries, & the code in #ifdef __STDC__  & #ifdef __GNUC__
   to see what things are needed for GnuC.

   Also, `idoprintf.c' & `iscanf.c' are NOT NEEDED any more, so remove
   them! Atari people still need to alter their login.c to use Clam as a
   login shell. Could Jwahar please post this - I've misplaced it.

2) Thanks to the people who have sent in bug reports. The major bug found
   so far is that directories after `.' were not searched. We didn't notice
   it as we have `.' on the end of our paths [ thus the bug could be
   construed as a feature :-) ]. This has been fixed. Another bug showed
   up with "" and * or ? in the same pipeline; I think this has been fixed
   too.

3) The makefile and header.h are going to be a major headache, because each
   system has got its include files in a different place, and everybody
   is going to customise header.h. The problem is now greater as Clam can
   now be used on any Unix or Minix machine. I've included patches to
   these files for the Atari, but unless we get an overwhelming response to
   change these files, they are going to stay `as is'.

4) Most of you noticed that I accidently send clamshar4 as clamshar3, but
   sent clamshar3 properly later. Some people didn't notice, and were
   asking where `builtin1.c' had got too. It's there, in the 2nd posting
   of clamshar3. { The best laid plans of mice & men .... }

That's about it. Keep any bug reports/ideas/questions rolling in!
