I am a system manager, and some people on a development project on our
VAX 11/750 running Ultrix 1.2 have asked about adding constructs to be
recognized by lint.  Specifically, they are doing development on our
VAX and using Tektronix software to generate 68000 code.  The Tektronix
software supports const and volatile declarations for data.  Well lint 
complains bitterly about these.  With our management being very pleased
that our folks are using lint, they have asked me to investigate anything
I could do to shutup lint in these cases.  I have looked in the supplemental
documentation, and couldn't figure out how to get lint to pass over  these
constructs.  I suppose I could write a filter for lint's output, but I was
wondering if anyone had a better way.

Thanks, I appreciate your time.

I think that this might be of interest to the net, but email to me if you
think it is appropriate.
