[URGENT] elkscmd has a big problem

[Harry Kalogirou]

Hi Riley,

 Now that the header files in the kernel use ansi prototypes the elkscmd
has problems :(. There are many programs that are not compilable now
even with the -ansi switch in bcc, because they don't honer ansi.

I'll have a look through them tomorrow. However, as an interim measure,
perhaps you could drop the current elkscmd tree in with the elks tree of
1st April 2002 (prior to my starting the ANSI'fication) and compile them
with that, then see if the result works with the current kernel. If so,
create images with the combination on them.

Best wishes from Riley.

As a first step towards doing this, I've ANSI'fied the elksnet package,
and it now compiles fine as far as the actual source is concerned.
However, it fails to link as the function _select is not defined in any
of the source files.

I would presume that is the select() system call and just needs defining
somewhere, but I have no idea where. Can you sort this out please, as
you know this package far better than I do?

Best wishes from Riley.
