I just finished installing notes on a 4.2 BSD machine and thought I 
would let everybody know how much work is involved.....in short, not
much.

In parms.h you can either define BSD41a or to do it more correctly
you can define BSD42 and then wherever there is an ifdef BSD41a just
add in an "|| BSD42."  There are only about a half dozen files that
have an ifdef BSD41a.

Also, in mknf.c there is an endif missing.  Just put an endif one line
after the "ifdef RCSIDENT".  For some reason the 4.2 cpp is more strict
about missing endif's.
