Subject: Some notes about the 2.02 alpha...

Dear DJ and workers,

I have some comments and questions about the latest 2.02 alpha.

As Eli already pointed out: we have both:
src/libc/posix/regex/re_forma.7   (old)
src/libc/posix/regex/re_format.7  (new)
which also clash, with DOS' 8.3 SFNs.

Should include/sys/sysmacros.h be mentioned in src/docs/kb/wc202.txi?

Why (special reason?) is libc [efg]cvt\(buf\)?-documentation in
src/libc/compat/stdlib/itoa.txh, instead of their respective *.txhs?

Where is info/libm.inf? Shouldn't it be in djdev202.zip?


Not related to this specific alpha:

Why is bin/coff2exe.bat a batch-file, and not a symlink
bin/coff2exe.exe to stubify? (I noticed that the Emacs building
procedure uses `coff2exe' in the batch-file, which should otherwise be
`call coff2exe' to be correct and compatible with v1. Eli?)

bin/exe2coff.exe hates it when you give it an MZ-file (stubified COFF)
*without* an extension. Maybe just document this. But where?

Hope this helps. If not, so be it. :-)
