Hi folks, I want to patch wc(1) so that it uses quad_t instead of u_long. This is necessary if wc(1) is to produce sensible results for files containing more than 4GB of data. The changes made to NetBSD to support this are conditional on NO_QUAD being undefined. Do I need to worry about this? Is it likely that FreeBSD will be compiled for a platform that that doesn't offer quad_t? My feeling is that the conditionalization should be left out until then. Ciao, Sheldon.
