The next six kits will contain an updated version of my stdio. I have gone to
some lengths to try to make it ANSI and Posix conformant. There was a bug
report to do with fwrite --- that code has been rewritten. There is a problem
with ((int) ((unsigned char) (x))) under Minix cc. This has been dealt with by
explicitly masking out the unwanted bits.

Other problems that need resolving are listed in 0_bugs.txt.

The code has been hacked a bit to compile under ANSI compilers which support
function prototypes. stdarg.h is provided although stdio will compile with
either varargs.h or stdarg.h.

An configuration script is provided but I have not verified its operation under
Minix. It is not necessary to use this script.
