	The version of unixlib I posted recently has a bug in it which
I've just been notified of. Unfortunately it requires a repost to patch
it, which I will do tomorrow. The bug is that fseek() does not correctly
update the position pointer in the stdio FILE struct. Thus ftell() cannot
be relied upon after an fseek(), nor can the return value of fseek().
Apart from this I have had no other bug reports. As an aside this bug was
introduced in the classic way - through correcting another earlier (and
more obscure) problem... :-)
