Hi!

I've been in contact with Chet Ramey, the man who ported MM from TOPS20 
to unix.

I've repported a few problems to him and gotten a few patches, but it 
will still not compile cleanly on FreeBSD5.2 on my computer.

Are there anyone out there that would like to fix up emm as a port for 
FreeBSD? I don't have the needed C programming skills myself so even 
though I want to I can't do it.

As a sidenote, while trying to fix the problems I realzied that many 
seems to be related to the move in gcc3 from varargs.h to stdsrg.h 
instead.

Are there anything written on everything you'd want to consider when 
migrating a port from one to the other? I guess that migration must have 
been made a few times when ports have been made since the gcc3 was 
launched.

Anyone?

/Andreas
