Ok.....

Ah....  That would explain it.....  Yes, sizeof() may not
work in all environments now.....  :(

 BS> But as I wrote I forgot to correct it in sqfix.

 BJ> Sounds like found what need fixing in SqaFix.

 BS> ? it's sqfix not sq_a_fix.

  Appologies....  I misread the name....


 BJ> If max didn't need a fix, because the code is shared with squish,

Hmmmm.....

I just (finally) did a cvs update and got the latest version (24 hours old)
on my linux box.....  I need to find where I burried my sample copy of
SqaFix.Cfg.....  I know I was playing with case and type of file names
generaged by SqaFix.....  Hmmmm...  Ah...  Yes, I *did* implement a
LOWERCASE option for some items.....  Don't think I got that documented yet
in anything other than the code.....  :(  Part of the problem is my
LOWERCASE fix is only partially implemented.  And the config file input is
a kludge at the moment....  Unfortunately, I got what I needed done and
didn't get all the cases fixed up.....  

I have the following TWO newareapath lines, in order:

NewAreaPath  /var/max/msg/max LOWERCASE
NewAreaPath  /var/Max/msg/max HPFS

The first line sets a flag to lowercase file names (in the code options
that have been updated).  The second line uses the HPFS path type
definitions.  

My attempts to add a third parameter to the parsing of the NewAreaPath line
were getting complicated.  So, this is only partitially implemented (and
tested) at this time.....  I don't like having two NewAreaPath lines, so I
plan a change at some point in the future....  [You know my line, when I
have time.... ]

On another subject, I think I found why SqaFix was being compile when
compiling the max code.  The main Makefile has now been updated in CVS to
version 1.8 to correct the error. 

Take care.....
