Sigh, I would have hoped that DEC would have fixed these bogus header
files in Ultrix 4.1.  What's happening is DEC within a __STDC__ ifdef,
supplied prototypes that do not match ANSI.  In particular, the
'const' keyword was removed.  I speculate that this is because the
MIPS compiler shipped with 2.0, does not fully support ANSI, but since
it's within a __STDC__ section, and their compiler does not define
__STDC__, I have to wonder why.......

Considering the flames and intolerance, shouldn't USENET be spelled ABUSENET?
