	-current source from Wednesday, July 8th 1998.

>Description:

	There are multiple versions of write_mfs_in_kernel.c under
src/release.  Obviously this is not a good idea as it makes maintai-
ning them more difficult.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Just look into the sources.  ;-)

>Fix:
	
	Merge their functionality (one of them seems to be a superset
of the other I examined) and then modify the Makefiles to take the
unified source.

	I just examined two of the versions.  With them it seems as
the one with the option -f is a superset of the other in the
floppies/bin subdirectory.
