Sorry to post this, but I can't find an email address in the Jewelbox code.

Several things in the jewel distribution need to be fixed.

First, the bogus `sel' in the Makefile has to go, or the other
arm of the conditional has to be added to #define it empty.  It
gives my linker indigestion.

You need to explain that SLOW_DRAW and SLOW_FONTS want to be #defined
to numeric values, rather than `y' or `n', and you need to explain what those
values mean.

You need the following lines in hscore.c right after the include of stdio.

#ifdef SVR4
#define SYSV
#endif

Also, the include of strings.h should be of string.h.

You depend on BSD functions srandom() and random().  To fix this, put the
following lines in general.h:

#ifdef SVR4
#define srandom(n)	srand48(n);
#define random()	lrand48()
#endif

We attempted to build this pgm on Solaris 1.x, using either gcc 2.2.2 or
Suns /bin/cc .  The program builds, and runs beautifully, but refuses
to save the scores at the end.

Anyone have a fix for that - I HATE getting 21000 points and then not
have a recording of it...
