Not suprising. That README was taken from the top of
/mit/linux-athena, which had some more junk. I guess I forgot to trim
it down.
* olc olcd.c won't compile (built-in fuction `sin'
declared as non-function...)
Fixed.
* moira make fails w/ ``can't cd to util/et''
Haven't seen this happen yet, but I'll try to find and fix it.
It also seems disturbing that the original location of these source
files is not documented (dev cell, <foo>dev locker, whatever)
Good point. I'll make an effort to fix that. (As a general rule,
it's the 7.7 tree...)
nor are context diffs included.
The .c files are too likely to change to make context diffs useful.
That's what rcs is for.

Ah! Is this documented somewhere? It certainly oughta be, so that
some of us don't get confused, or remain ignorant :-)
Sorry. I wanted to discuss this theory with interested people, rather
than just documenting "THIS IS HOW THINGS ARE DONE BECAUSE I SAY SO."
The reason I was putting off this discussion is that I didn't really
know that there were "interested people".

I see two flaws with this, one significant, the other perhaps not:
While I'm not convinced cleaning out the RCS directories is a great
idea, I still think it has some small, mild advantages over not
cleaning out the directories. I won't bother listing them, instead
I'll just let anyone convince me I'm wrong. :-)
I would suggest we place a .wheretogetme (or equiv.)
file in the top level of each tree.
Good idea.

Have a nice day.
