This directory contains source needed to bring up rkive on other systems.
I have been successful in bringing rkive up on a wide range of machines
but some machines have a couple pieces missing... :-(

If your system does not have getopt() then use getopt.c This source was
posted to comp.sources.unix in volume3 so there is no problem supplying
it here... You will have to edit the makefile and uncomment the GETOPTO
and GETOPTC entries for including getopt.c.

If you are on a sequent and do not have Doug Gwyn's POSIX Directory access
library installed, you need to edit the makefile and assure that the
Ssequent's SFLAGS is uncommented.

I recommend that you get Doug's Directory access library if you do not
have POSIX compatible directory access routines already supplied on your 
system.  If you need a copy, send me some email and I will gladly send you
a copy...

If you run across something else that can be added to this directory to
make rkive more portable, please send it to me and I will include it in
future releases.  Thanks.
