I welcome your help, +but to make my life easier I'd like to request the following: + +- Don't change the version numbers! + +If your changes are extensive, I will have to work hard to +integrate them into my version. If you check it into SCCS locally, +the version numbers will likely be kept. IF you check it into RCS +or CVS locally, please use -k to keep the version numbers, and +please use branch deltas (1.21.1, 1.21.2, ...). If you don't do +this, I will likely be unable to use your changes; life's just too +short. + +- Do not distribute changed versions. + +People trying to be helpful occasionally put up their hacked versions +of the file command for FTP, then the "archie" server finds and publishes +the hacked version, and people all over the world get copies of it. +Within a day or two I am getting email from around the world +asking me why "my" file command won't compile!!! Needless to say this +detracts from the limited time I have available to work on the actual +software. Therefore I ask you again to please NOT distribute +your changed version. + + +Thank you for your assistance and cooperation. + +Mark Moraes Christos Zoulas +moraes@deshaw.com christos@deshaw.com -- 2.20.1
