Re: What dist is vararg.h in?

[Doug Thistlethwaite <doug.t@deltanet.com>]

Thats sys/varargs.h

Would varargs.h move between the two version of bo to hamm?  This is source code
to a mud that compiled fine under bo but now its having fits under hamm.  I was
expecting that all I would have to do is re-compile it without modifications.

Thanks for the info.
