Situation : recompiling ENTER on Pyramid 90X (UNIFY port done by Uniq)
Here is the problem:

	UNIFY's fprg.a library contains ONE unresolved reference to
	_tolower. And fprg.a is linked in when I try to compile a few
	custom routines into Unify's ENTER ( I'd like to be able to
	use the reporting capabilities on queries AND use my masking
	routines for input).

	The things go sour when the _tolower reference does not get 
	resolved. It can't be the ctype(3) _tolower which is a macro
	in both att's SV and 4.2 BSD universes. That's on the 4.2BSD
	side. On att side __ctype_ is unreseolved. __ctype_ is used in 
	termcap.a and is declared in BSD's libc_p.a (but not in libc.a)
	and does not come up as an error. There is a __ctype symbol
	defined in ATT's libc.a (and libc_p.a). And there is _tolower
	symbol defined in ATT universe's libc.a as well.

So here is a question : How am I to compile ENTER?
In att universe there is no __ctype_ and in ucb universe there is no
_tolower function ( whatever it is!). If _tolower reference is present
in the UNIFY archive it points to the SV (att universe) environment.
__ctype_ in termcap.a points to the ucb developement environment.

This is all very confusing to me... How can ENTER be compiled if 
neither universe will provide all the necessary symbols? How the hell
did Uniq do it?!
