Subject: 1.12.maint1 - fourth try


Wearing thin, isn't it?  Here's attempt #4 at getting this thing
right.  Basically the same as #3, except:

1) strings.exe opens files in binary mode

2) ctime doesn't export timezone, altzone, and daylight any more

3) gettimeofday() uses localtime() to get gmtoff and minuteswest

4) system() passes batch files to command.com

5) tmpnam uses TMPDIR and TEMP, not just /tmp.

6) stat() returns ENOENT instead of ENMFILE (this fixes mktemp()).

I think that's it for big changes in this attempt.  I've set up the
distribution scripts so that zoneinfo/posixrules is in djeoe and the
rest of zoneinfo/* is in djdev.  The ctime code looks like it's
supposed to be able to parse XXXNYYY without the posixrules file, but
tests show that it doesn't work out right, so I figured we'd put
posixrules in the djeoe subset so that tinezones would at least work.

The docs/djgpp/new112m1.doc file contains all the changes so far.

The file is, as usual, on omnigate.clarkson.edu:pub/msdos/djgpp as
dj112m1.zip.

Let me know if it's finally good enough to make it official.

Thanks,
DJ
