RE: Linux seq compilation error

["Laznovsky, Michael" <lazmo@SLAC.Stanford.EDU>]

Hello- this is a known problem; however, we've had no trouble compiling
it under Linux w/gcc 2.95.3 here at SLAC.

I pointed it out to Marty a while back and he replied thusly:

In the meantime I plan to release Real Soon Now a version 2.0.3 on the SLAC
website that incorporates the fix (and also the recent documentation changes,
assuming I can find editable versions!).

I see the same problem here, and there even appears to be a solution 
within the distribution itself - look for a file in the seq-2.0.2 
directory called diff_%src%seq%seq_qry.c.  After applying the reversed 
change shown in that file the thing builds properly for me (but I haven't 
tested it yet to see if it actually works).

Could the SEQ maintainer explain why that file is there, rather than 
having been applied before creating the tar file?
