Subject: C News patch of 14-Dec-1990
Message-ID: <1990Dec14.185557.5851@zoo.toronto.edu>
Organization: U of Toronto Zoology

This one concludes the catch-up patches, and incorporates a couple of
tail-end additions to earlier ones.  Fix a bug in updatemin, uncovered
by the new split(), that caused blank lines to be added to the active
file.  Update rnews(8) to match the new rnews.  Add a copy of inews in
NEWSCTL, for the benefit of things like rn that want to see one there.
(Kind of a blemish, but at least inews is a shell file.)  Completion
of the ANSI-C-errno fixes.  And change anne.jones (part of the inews
machinery) to generate dates with four-digit years.
