Hi all,

   It seems that some of the changes I requested recently didn't make it into
the Beta9 distribution (although most did, I'm happy to say). I'm not sure
who is managing the various phases of the release, so to cover all bases, I'm
posting here.

   Debugging continues & I havn't tested all components yet. However, with
these changes in the kit, the Alpha/OSF port will compile & successfully
install. caput/get, cau, and (most of) medm now function correctly with beta9
and these corrections. DCT and various database stuff remain on my 2do list
(those interested in full alpha support drop me a line for latest info).

------ 
   config/CONFIG_SITE.Unix.alpha

        MOTIF_LIB not defined. Causes VERY DIFFICULT TO DIAGNOSE problems!
        Add line:-
                MOTIF_LIB = /usr/lib

   config/CONFIG.Unix.alpha

        Changes to flex compilation options have revealed missing symbols for
        the compiler. gmake will abort in src/toolsComm/flex/O.alpha with
        garbage.
        Add line:-
                ACC_STRICT_INVOKE_W_YES = cc -std1 -w

    base/src/ca/net_convert.h

        Code conditional on CA_FLOAT_IEEE and CA_LITTLE_ENDIAN for the
        macro definitions of ntohf,htonf,ntohd & ntond should specify
        u_int rather than u_long. These symbols are the same on all
        arch's _except_ Alpha/OSF using standard compiler switches.
