Thanks!

I compiled and ran inherit.c with the new fcntl on DOS, Windows 95 and
on NT.  It worked on all of those systems.

Several comments on the code:

    static long
    get_dev_info(int fd)

Why couldn't you use _get_dev_info()?  It seems to be identical to
this local function.

    if (dev_info < 0)
    {
      errno = EBADF;
      return -1;
    }

The above (from the beginning of fcntl) is okay, but you don't need to
set errno, since get_dev_info() already does that.

    while (tofd < open_max)
    {
      /* If unable to get the device info for the handle,
         then the handle is not active and it can be used.  */
      if (!get_dev_info(tofd))
        break;

get_dev_info returns -1 when it fails, not zero.

Under F_DUPFD, I suggest to save and restore the previous value of
errno before you "return dup2(fd, tofd)".  That's because the loop
which looks for a free tofd will end up with EBADF, so the function
will overwrite the previous value of errno even if it succeeds, which
isn't nice.

Under F_SETFL, I suggest to fail with ENOSYS if they include the
O_NONBLOCK bit, since we don't support it.  Also, perhaps the
AUTO-COMMIT flag supported by 216C00h and 21716Ch could be translated
into O_SYNC flags (although it's non-Posix).

    case F_SETLKW:

Shouldn't this case wait for the lock to be removed, with some
busy-wait loop that issues __dpmi_yield()?  This assumes that there's
some way of detecting the fact that the _dos_{un,}lock call failed
because the file is already locked.  If we can't, perhaps it's better
to fail with ENOSYS?

    if (ret < 0)
      errno = ENOSYS;

(This is at the end of the locking section.)  errno should be set by
_dos_lock and _dos_unlock.  They currently don't do that, but that's a
bug which I will correct.  (While at that, I should also change the
entry in doserr2e.c that returns EPERM for DOS error 21h to return
EACCES instead, as this fits the Unix behavior better.)

There were a few other minor problems revealed by -Wall; see the diffs
below.  inherit.c didn't compile for me at first; diffs attached (and
I find the interchange of argc and argv confusing).

Are you planning to extend the test program for commands other than
F_DUPFD?  I would like to see whether the other commands, in
particular F_SETFL and F_GETFL, work on Windows 9X and NT.  And the
expanded test program could then go directly into djtstNNN.zip ;-)

Yes, Posix says only O_APPEND and O_NONBLOCK can be changed.  SunOS
also allows the (non-standard) O_SYNC, so if we support it, we should
allow it as well.
