Yes, I already went back and reread your email. I had decided I had
read it too quickly and misinterpreted your statement, which is why I
had stopped bringing it up.
Sorry about the misquote. :)

Actually, I made most of the recent non-trivial dirent.h/dirent.c
changes in CVS. The original ndir.c & ndir.h files I started with
contained the following attribution, however:
Everything non trivial in this code is from: @(#)msd_dir.c 1.4
87/11/06. A public domain implementation of BSD directory routines
for MS-DOS. Written by Michael Rendell
({uunet,[EMAIL PROTECTED]), August 1897
A google search brings up at least one copy of what is probably the
original:
http://stuff.mit.edu/afs/athena/contrib/watchmaker/decmipssrc/cshar/dir.msdos
What are the rules about importing public domain code into GNULIB?
I'd be happy to declare my changes to those files also public domain, if
it makes things any easier. If this is needed, we might need Jim to
declare his tweaks public domain too under the many tiny changes rule,
but I expect he would be amenable. Jim?

Thanks for the link.
Cheers,
