    No need to define its own constants for the standard file descriptors, either. Gaining <unistd.h> means that you gain STDERR_FILENO, STDIN_FILENO, et al..

    That 'extern int errno' is actually wrong and needs to come out. A well known thing to change, that is.

    That's all I spotted from a quick shufti. There's probably something more in the string handling. Code from that period often wasn't good with strings. I've not looked, though.

    It would be interesting to trace the relationships, if any, between the twain.

    Here's something for your doco: Pendleton's actual shar posting to comp.unix.wizards in 1988, complete with UUCP bang paths in the signature block.

    groups.google.com/g/comp.unix.

    Notice that Pendleton did VMS emulation before emacs.

    Also note that the BSDs have cfmakeraw(3) available in the C library.
