If you don't have one, you can write it easily. The +prototype is: + + bcopy (char *src, char *dest, int nBytes); + +copy nButes from source "src" to destination "dest". Some implementations +work for overlapping source and destination, but that is not necessary +for rtf2troff. If you don't have bcopy, but you do have memcpy, bcopy +can be implemented as + + # define bcopy(a,b,c) (void) memcpy(b,a,c) + +On a Macintosh you can use + + # define bcopy(a,b,c) BlockMove(a,b,c) + +------------------- +Some functions take a variable number of arguments; varargs.h is used +if you have it. This is all controlled by VARARGS in the Makefile. +If you use imake, the correct value should be selected automatically, +otherwise you'll have to set it by hand. + +------------------- +The table used to translate non-ASCII (> 127) characters are incomplete, +and it is possible that the special sequences used to represent +special characters are not present in all troff's. Check against your +local documentation. Take a look at trf-charmap.c. +------------------- |
