Whoops!  Check that; `dirname' was NOT left off the SunOS 4.0 release tapes;
it is part of the `System V' software that I steadfastly refuse to dump onto
my system.  So, Sun users, beware, if you don't install the `System V' software
during `suninstall' this will bite you, when you try to run `fixincludes'.

Not now I haven't ... :^)
