Aucbvax.5430 fa.unix-wizards utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!unix-wizards Thu Dec 10 19:02:47 1981 back to immediate distribution >From knutsen@SRI-UNIX Thu Dec 10 18:18:05 1981 Because of the time required to moderate the list, we have returned to immediate distribution for the time being. Messages sent in the past few weeks may be sent out at some point, but I would suggest re-submitting anything urgent (if it still is). Also, a note of interest to usenet subscribers: we are currently developing a new distribution strategy that will allow mutual arpa/usenet lists to be treated as normal usenet "net" lists. However at this time it is still neccesary to use the fa.unix-wixards/ ucbvax!unix-wizards convention. AND, a question to start off, re v7 C: I have noticed that if I have an array declared char foo[] = "bar"; in one source file, then declare extern char *foo in another, I dont get "bar". I have to declare extern char foo[]. Is this a bug or a feature?
