- To whom it may concern,
-
- I recently reworked the QUIP programs on CUG disk number
- 182. I have enclosed a disk with the modified programs and the
- corrected data files. I found a number of problems with the
- programs as released on the CUG disk. Among them partially
- implemented features (no seeding of the random number generator),
- incompatibilities with DOS (get_login() & directory names), un-
- portable file structure.
-
- I updated the programs so that they compiled correctly under
- Microsoft's Quick C release 1.0 with the ANSI switch on. Other
- changes included reworking of the data structure to support the
- use of an explicit SEPARATOR character. The file names were
- changed so that they all start with QUIP. Seeding of the srand()
- function with time(). Binary file opens were added where
- required. Changing the references to 'fort' and 'fortune' to
- 'quip'. Compilation under UNIX is still supported through a
- preprocessor define (untested as yet). Other minor modifications
- were also made.
-
- It is my hope that this version of quip will be more
- universally useful in both the MS-DOS and UNIX worlds. If you
- have any questions I can be reached at the above address or at
- (617) 641-2543.
-
- Sincerely,
