This program optionally can use thread-safe date routines.
If you want threadsafeness (is that a word?) you'll need to
include the libc_r library, and remove the comment markers
from the line containing #define THREADSAFE 1

One person had difficulty compiling with gcc version 2.7.2.2 running
on Solaris 2.4.  The error indication was:

# gcc cronscd.c
/var/tmp/cca004j_1.o: In function `LoadFile':
/var/tmp/cca004j_1.o(.text+0xd70): undefined reference to `dirname'
/var/tmp/cca004j_1.o(.text+0xd8c): undefined reference to `basename'

This problem was resolved by altering the gcc command line to:
# gcc cronscd.c /usr/ccs/lib/libgen.a

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Peter Johnson discovered that, on Digital Unix 4.0a, the dirname()
function returns a null pointer if no pathname is specified, which
caused the strcpy in LoadFile to fail.  This has been corrected in
the program source.

Thanks Peter.

11 Feb, 98 - Peter Johnson found another problem: missing break
2:45PM EST   commands from the case switch for command line options
             source corrections made.

Thanks again, Sir.
