This is the change file for CWEB's COMMON under VAX/VMS.
created:
1987 BL (Bjorn Larsen, University of Oslo)
modified:
01-FEB-1992 ST (Stephan Trebels <trebels@ams02.dnet.gwdg.de>)
> include ctype,stdio,ssdef from textlibrary SYS$SHARE:VAXCDEF.TLB
> change error return code to SS$_ABORT
(perhaps better than %NONAME-E-NOMSG, Message number 2 )
(also modified by Don Knuth to match changes in the master file)
(only the two changes by BL are necessary for initial bootstrapping
via hand-editing of common.c)
@x l.97 (01-FEB-1992 ST)
#include <ctype.h>
@y
#include ctype /* VMS searches Textlibraries faster */
@z
@x l.154 (01-FEB-1992 ST)
#include <stdio.h>
@y
#include stdio /* VMS searches Textlibraries faster */

programs are started. Here, for instance, we pass the operating system
a status of 0 if and only if only harmless messages were printed.
@y
programs are started. Here, for instance, we pass VAX/VMS
a status of |SS$_NORMAL| if and only if only harmless
messages have been printed.
A suitable status to signal an error condition to VAX/VMS could be
|SS$_ABORT|, telling the operating system to
print |"%SYSTEM-F-ABORT, abort"|, if |history > harmless_message|.
@z
@x l.911 (1987 BL) (01-FEB-1992 ST)
if (history > harmless_message) exit(1);
else exit(0);
@y
/*
VAX/VMS and UNIX have different error status conventions.
VAX/VMS uses odd values (for example |SS$_NORMAL|) to indicate success,
even values indicate errors, resulting in messages displayed
on the screen. |SS$_ABORT| has been chosen, to indicate an
error and display something that's not complete nonsense.

@x l.962 (01-FEB-1992 ST)
An omitted change file argument means that |"/dev/null"| should be used,
when no changes are desired.
@y
An omitted change file argument means that the
null device |"NL:"| should be used, when no changes are desired.

@* Index.
@y
@* VAX/VMS specific code.
We have used |SS$_NORMAL| and |SS$_ABORT| as return codes,
so we have to include the system message codes.
@<Include files@>=
#include ssdef /* we need VAX/VMS system messages */
