- Late breaking comments
-
- o I have not tried compiling and executing all source files with NDEBUG
- *not* defined. When NDEBUG is not defined, many assertions in the code
- get enabled and will give error messages if they fail. Recent
- revisions may have made some of these assertions invalid.
-
- o On systems with ints longer than 32 bits, there were some minor
- portability problems reported in the past. I suggested some fixes (which
- are incorporated in the current distribution) but was unable to confirm
- if they worked. If you get zoo 2.0 working on a Cray, CDC, or similar
- machine with very large ints, please let me know.
-
- o Handling of pathnames longer than 255 characters is probably not robust
- at this time. Zoo should be able to handle pathanmes of up to 510
- characters, with the filename part and the directory prefix part each
- being 255 characters or less. But it will probably choke on any pathname
- that is longer than 255 characters.
-
- o The **IX "file" command, at least on System V Release 2 and on 4.3BSD,
- can be made to recognize zoo archives. Instructions are in the file
- "file.fix".
