M.I.A. Files ------------ Several folks have asked about the files that inevitably disappear from one SNIPPETS release to the next. Some have gone so far as to suggest I include a brief rationale within SNIPPETS.NDX why each deleted entry (marked with a '-' in the first column) was dropped. This would be impractical since SNIPPETS.NDX is more than a simple index - it also acts as the control file for SNIPDIFF. A such it is maintained by a separate program and its entries read in order when producing SNIPDIFF. More importantly, its file verification tag is computed during the automatic maintenance cycle. In other words, it's more work than I want to tackle right now, OK? This file is therefore a separate list of all the files deleted from SNIPPETS since the last release along with the reason they were removed: Dow.H : Bug in early 21st century - replaced by function in SCALDATE.C Dd_Struc.C : Renamed DD_STRUCT.H Figets.C : Buggy, not yet fixed
