Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Tue, 23 Apr 1996 09:52:58 -0700 From: Paul Traina Sender: owner-multimedia@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I realize the driver is a mess, *but* I would strongly suggest you make MINIMAL changes to the driver to fix it. This means that if you want to clean up the prototypes, you put prototypes in at the FRONT of the files and you make NO gratuitous source code changes (like ansifying things). We don't own TASD and you shouldn't make changes as if you think you do own it. I'm really sick and tired of seeing people hack the living shit out of 3rd party code and then it becomes unmaintainable when that 3rd party makes changes. Paul
