I'm trying to revive Kerberos on the IBM PC; right now I'm trying to
build the DES library. Can anyone offer help on the following
details:
1. A couple of programs in libdes.a call on the 4.2 C-library
functions bzero() and bcmp(). Those two functions aren't part of the
standard CC86 C-library. Cliff and Steve: did one of you write
versions of those functions for the PC? I didn't find them anywhere.
Or did those calls get added to the sources after the last time
libdes was checked out on the PC?
2. For the PC/8086, should the compile-time parameter BIG be defined
or not? From the three places it is used I couldn't figure out just
what BIG does--something about enabling a table-driven permutation
transformation, I think.
3. Do I recall correctly that the PC/8086 has its bytes in the same
order as the RT?
Thanks.
Jerry
