commit mega-patch
configure.in: Turn off -Winline and -Wchar-subscripts.
Use the right set of cflags when compiling modules.
Rewrite ldap configuration to separate the inclusion of lber
(needed in recent Cygwin) from the basic checks for the
needed libraries.
add a function for MAKE_JUNK_C; initially code was added to
generate xemacs.def using this, but it will need to be rewritten.
add an rm -f for junk.c to avoid weird Cygwin bug with cp -f onto
an existing file.
Sort list of auto-detected functions and eliminate unused checks for
stpcpy, setlocale and getwd.
Add autodetection of Cygwin scanf problems
BETA: Rewrite section on configure to indicate what flags are important
and what not.
digest-doc.c, make-dump-id.c, profile.c, sorted-doc.c: Add proper decls for main().
make-msgfile.c: Document that this is old junk.
Move proposal to text.c.
make-msgfile.lex: Move proposal to text.c.
make-mswin-unicode.pl: Convert error-generating code so that the entire message will
be seen as a single unrecognized token.
mule/mule-ccl.el: Update docs.
lispref/mule.texi: Update CCL docs.
ldap/eldap.c: Mule-ize.
Use EXTERNAL_LIST_LOOP_2 instead of deleted EXTERNAL_LIST_LOOP.
* XEmacs 21.5.18 "chestnut" is released.
---------------------------------------------------------------
MULE-RELATED WORK:
---------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------
byte-char conversion
---------------------------
buffer.c, buffer.h, insdel.c, text.c: Port FSF algorithm for byte-char conversion, replacing broken
previous version. Track the char position of the gap. Add
functions to do char-byte conversion downwards as well as upwards.
Move comments about algorithm workings to internals manual.
---------------------------
work on types
---------------------------
alloc.c, console-x-impl.h, dump-data.c, dump-data.h, dumper.c, dialog-msw.c, dired-msw.c, doc.c, editfns.c, esd.c, event-gtk.h, event-msw.c, events.c, file-coding.c, file-coding.h, fns.c, glyphs-eimage.c, glyphs-gtk.c, glyphs-msw.c, glyphs-shared.c, glyphs-x.c, glyphs.c, glyphs.h, gui.c, hpplay.c, imgproc.c, intl-win32.c, lrecord.h, lstream.c, keymap.c, lisp.h, libsst.c, linuxplay.c, miscplay.c, miscplay.h, mule-coding.c, nas.c, nt.c, ntheap.c, ntplay.c, objects-msw.c, objects-tty.c, objects-x.c, print.c, process-nt.c, process.c, redisplay.h, select-common.h, select-gtk.c, select-x.c, sgiplay.c, sound.c, sound.h, sunplay.c, sysfile.h, sysdep.c, syswindows.h, text.c, unexnt.c, win32.c, xgccache.c: Further work on types. This creates a full set of types for all
the basic semantics of `char' that I have so far identified, so that
its semantics can always be identified for the purposes of proper
Mule-safe code, and the raw use of `char' always avoided.
(1) More type renaming, for consistency of naming.
Char_ASCII -> Ascbyte
UChar_ASCII -> UAscbyte
Char_Binary -> CBinbyte
UChar_Binary -> Binbyte
SChar_Binary -> SBinbyte
(2) Introduce Rawbyte, CRawbyte, Boolbyte, Chbyte, UChbyte, and
Bitbyte and use them.
(3) New types Itext, Wexttext and Textcount for separating out
the concepts of bytes and textual units (different under UTF-16
and UTF-32, which are potential internal encodings).
(4) qxestr*_c -> qxestr*_ascii.
lisp.h: New; goes with other qxe() functions. #### Maybe goes in a
different section.
lisp.h: Group generic int-type defs together with EMACS_INT defs.
lisp.h: * lisp.h (WEXTTEXT_IS_WIDE)
New defns.
lisp.h: New type to replace places where int occurs as a boolean.
It's signed because occasionally people may want to use -1 as
an error value, and because unsigned ints are viral -- see comments
in the internals manual against using them.
dynarr.c: int -> Bytecount.
---------------------------
Mule-izing
---------------------------
device-x.c: Partially Mule-ize.
dumper.c, dumper.h: Mule-ize. Use Rawbyte. Use stderr_out not printf. Use wext_*().
sysdep.c, syswindows.h, text.c: New Wexttext API for manipulation of external text that may be
Unicode (e.g. startup code under Windows).
emacs.c: Mule-ize. Properly deal with argv in external encoding.
Use wext_*() and Wexttext. Use Rawbyte.
#if 0 some old junk on SCO that is unlikely to be correct.
Rewrite allocation code in run-temacs.
emacs.c, symsinit.h, win32.c: Rename win32 init function and call it even earlier, to
initialize mswindows_9x_p even earlier, for use in startup code
(XEUNICODE_P).
process.c: Use _wenviron not environ under Windows, to get Unicode environment
variables.
event-Xt.c: Mule-ize drag-n-drop related stuff.
dragdrop.c, dragdrop.h, frame-x.c: Mule-ize.
text.h: Add some more stand-in defines for particular kinds of conversion;
use in Mule-ization work in frame-x.c etc.
---------------------------
Freshening
---------------------------
intl-auto-encap-win32.c, intl-auto-encap-win32.h: Regenerate.
---------------------------
Unicode-work
---------------------------
intl-win32.c, syswindows.h: Factor out common options to MultiByteToWideChar and
WideCharToMultiByte. Add convert_unicode_to_multibyte_malloc()
and convert_unicode_to_multibyte_dynarr() and use. Add stuff for
alloca() conversion of multibyte/unicode.
alloc.c: Use dfc_external_data_len() in case of unicode coding system.
alloc.c, mule-charset.c: Don't zero out and reinit charset Unicode tables. This fucks up
dump-time loading. Anyway, either we load them at dump time or
run time, never both.
unicode.c: Dump the blank tables as well.
---------------------------------------------------------------
DOCUMENTATION, MOSTLY MULE-RELATED:
---------------------------------------------------------------
EmacsFrame.c, emodules.c, event-Xt.c, fileio.c, input-method-xlib.c, mule-wnnfns.c, redisplay-gtk.c, redisplay-tty.c, redisplay-x.c, regex.c, sysdep.c: Add comment about Mule work needed.
text.h: Add more documentation describing why DFC routines were not written
to return their value. Add some other DFC documentation.
console-msw.c, console-msw.h: Add pointer to docs in win32.c.
emacs.c: Add comments on sources of doc info.
text.c, charset.h, unicode.c, intl-win32.c, intl-encap-win32.c, text.h, file-coding.c, mule-coding.c: Collect background comments and related to text matters and
internationalization, and proposals for work to be done, in text.c
or Internals manual, stuff related to specific textual API's in
text.h, and stuff related to internal implementation of Unicode
conversion in unicode.c. Put lots of pointers to the comments to
make them easier to find.
s/mingw32.h, s/win32-common.h, s/win32-native.h, s/windowsnt.h, win32.c: Add bunches of new documentation on the different kinds of
builds and environments under Windows and how they work.
Collect this info in win32.c. Add pointers to these docs in
the relevant s/* files.
emacs.c: Document places with long comments.
Remove comment about exiting, move to internals manual, put
in pointer.
event-stream.c: Move docs about event queues and focus to internals manual, put
in pointer.
events.h: Move docs about event stream callbacks to internals manual, put
in pointer.
profile.c, redisplay.c, signal.c: Move documentation to the Internals manual.
process-nt.c: Add pointer to comment in win32-native.el.
lisp.h: Add comments about some comment conventions.
lisp.h: Add comment about the second argument.
device-msw.c, redisplay-msw.c: @@#### comments are out-of-date.
---------------------------------------------------------------
PDUMP WORK (MOTIVATED BY UNICODE CHANGES)
---------------------------------------------------------------
alloc.c, buffer.c, bytecode.c, console-impl.h, console.c, device.c, dumper.c, lrecord.h, elhash.c, emodules.h, events.c, extents.c, frame.c, glyphs.c, glyphs.h, mule-charset.c, mule-coding.c, objects.c, profile.c, rangetab.c, redisplay.c, specifier.c, specifier.h, window.c, lstream.c, file-coding.h, file-coding.c: PDUMP:
Properly implement dump_add_root_block(), which never worked before,
and is necessary for dumping Unicode tables.
Pdump name changes for accuracy:
XD_STRUCT_PTR -> XD_BLOCK_PTR.
XD_STRUCT_ARRAY -> XD_BLOCK_ARRAY.
XD_C_STRING -> XD_ASCII_STRING.
*_structure_* -> *_block_*.
lrecord.h: some comments added about
dump_add_root_block() vs dump_add_root_block_ptr().
extents.c: remove incorrect comment about pdump problems with gap array.
---------------------------------------------------------------

LIFO order.
lisp.h, text.c, text.h: Factor out some stuff for general use by alloca()-conversion funs.
text.h, lisp.h: Fill out convenience routines for allocating various kinds of
bytes and put them in lisp.h. Use them in place of xmalloc(),
ALLOCA().
text.h: Fill out the convenience functions so the _MALLOC() kinds match
the alloca() kinds.
---------------------------------------------------------------
ERROR-CHECKING
---------------------------------------------------------------
text.h: Create ASSERT_ASCTEXT_ASCII() and ASSERT_ASCTEXT_ASCII_LEN()
from similar Eistring checkers and change the Eistring checkers to
use them instead.
---------------------------------------------------------------
MACROS IN LISP.H
---------------------------------------------------------------
lisp.h: Redo GCPRO declarations. Create a "base" set of functions that can
be used to generate any kind of gcpro sets -- regular, ngcpro,
nngcpro, private ones used in GC_EXTERNAL_LIST_LOOP_2.
buffer.c, callint.c, chartab.c, console-msw.c, device-x.c, dialog-msw.c, dired.c, extents.c, ui-gtk.c, rangetab.c, nt.c, mule-coding.c, minibuf.c, menubar-msw.c, menubar.c, menubar-gtk.c, lread.c, lisp.h, gutter.c, glyphs.c, glyphs-widget.c, fns.c, fileio.c, file-coding.c, specifier.c: Eliminate EXTERNAL_LIST_LOOP, which does not check for circularities.

will be overridden by my other ws.
---------------------------------------------------------------
FIX FOR LEAKING PROCESS HANDLES:
---------------------------------------------------------------
process-nt.c: Fixes for leaking handles. Inspired by work done by Adrian Aichner
<adrian@xemacs.org>.
---------------------------------------------------------------
FIX FOR CYGWIN BUG (Unicode-related):
---------------------------------------------------------------

Factor out some redundant init code. Move disallowed stuff
that had crept into vars_of_glyphs() into complex_vars_of_glyphs().
Call init_eval_semi_early() from eval.c not in the middle of
vars_of_() in emacs.c since there should be no order dependency
in the latter calls.
---------------------------------------------------------------
ARMAGEDDON:
---------------------------------------------------------------
alloc.c, emacs.c, lisp.h, print.c: Rename inhibit_non_essential_printing_operations to
inhibit_non_essential_conversion_operations.
text.c: Assert on !inhibit_non_essential_conversion_operations.
console-msw.c, print.c: Don't do conversion in SetConsoleTitle or FindWindow to avoid
problems during armageddon. Put #errors for NON_ASCII_INTERNAL_FORMAT
in places where problems would arise.
---------------------------------------------------------------
CHANGES TO THE BUILD PROCEDURE:
---------------------------------------------------------------
config.h.in, s/cxux.h, s/usg5-4-2.h, m/powerpc.h: Add comment about correct ordering of this file.
Rearrange everything to follow this -- put all #undefs together
and before the s&m files. Add undefs for HAVE_ALLOCA, C_ALLOCA,
BROKEN_ALLOCA_IN_FUNCTION_CALLS, STACK_DIRECTION. Remove unused
HAVE_STPCPY, HAVE_GETWD, HAVE_SETLOCALE.
m/gec63.h: Deleted; totally broken, not used at all, not in FSF.
m/7300.h, m/acorn.h, m/alliant-2800.h, m/alliant.h, m/altos.h, m/amdahl.h, m/apollo.h, m/att3b.h, m/aviion.h, m/celerity.h, m/clipper.h, m/cnvrgnt.h, m/convex.h, m/cydra5.h, m/delta.h, m/delta88k.h, m/dpx2.h, m/elxsi.h, m/ews4800r.h, m/gould.h, m/hp300bsd.h, m/hp800.h, m/hp9000s300.h, m/i860.h, m/ibmps2-aix.h, m/ibmrs6000.h, m/ibmrt-aix.h, m/ibmrt.h, m/intel386.h, m/iris4d.h, m/iris5d.h, m/iris6d.h, m/irist.h, m/isi-ov.h, m/luna88k.h, m/m68k.h, m/masscomp.h, m/mg1.h, m/mips-nec.h, m/mips-siemens.h, m/mips.h, m/news.h, m/nh3000.h, m/nh4000.h, m/ns32000.h, m/orion105.h, m/pfa50.h, m/plexus.h, m/pmax.h, m/powerpc.h, m/pyrmips.h, m/sequent-ptx.h, m/sequent.h, m/sgi-challenge.h, m/symmetry.h, m/tad68k.h, m/tahoe.h, m/targon31.h, m/tekxd88.h, m/template.h, m/tower32.h, m/tower32v3.h, m/ustation.h, m/vax.h, m/wicat.h, m/xps100.h: Delete C_ALLOCA, HAVE_ALLOCA, STACK_DIRECTION,
BROKEN_ALLOCA_IN_FUNCTION_CALLS. All of this is auto-detected.
When in doubt, I followed recent FSF sources, which also have
these things deleted.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2, June 1991 Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 59 Temple Place - Suite 330 Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA. Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. Preamble The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too. When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software. Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations. Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program. You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.) These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program. In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License. 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable. If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code. 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it. 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License. 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice. This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License. 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License. 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation. 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. NO WARRANTY 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> Copyright (C) 19yy <name of author> This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for more details. You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with this program; see the file COPYING. If not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA. Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode: Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19yy name of author Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program. You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker. <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989 Ty Coon, President of Vice This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General Public License instead of this License.
