@@ -118,6 +118,21 @@ Following is the change from calc version 2.11.0t7 to date:
      Converted start_done into a general calc run state enum called
      run_state within the calc source.
 
+     Removed README.OLD.
+
+     Added the Makefile variable ${LCC} to invoke the local c compiler.
+     By default, ${CC} also run the ${LCC} compiler.  The distinction is
+     useful when using something such as purify.  In the case of ${LCC},
+     only the local C compiler is invoked.  In the case of ${CC} a purify
+     compile is invoked.  Only the source that must be compiled and run
+     on the local machine use ${LCC}; everything else uses ${CC}.
+
+     Fixed memory buffer ovreread problem in eatstring() in token.c.
+
+     Fixed memory leaks related to putenv().
+
+     Fixed memory leaks realted to srandom().
+
      Misc calc man page fixes.

--dbell-
-
-p.s. By Landon Curt Noll:
-
-Building calc in 3 easy steps:
-
-    1) Look at the makefile, and adjust it to suit your needs.
-
-       Here are some Makefile hints:
-
-	   In the past, some people have had to adjust the VARARG or
-	   TERMCONTROL because the Makefile cannot always guess
-	   correctly for certain systems.  You may need to play with
-	   these values if you experience problems.
-
-	   The default compiler used is 'cc'.  The default compiler flag
-	   is '-O'.  If you have gcc, or gcc v2 (or better) you should use
-	   that instead.   Some compilers allow for optimization beyond
-	   just -O (gcc v2 has -O2, mips cc has -O3).  You should select
-	   the best flag for speed optimization.  Calc can be cpu intensive
-	   so selecting a quality compiler and good optimization level can
-	   really pay off.
-
-    2) build calc:
-
-	make all
-
-    3) test calc:
-
-	make check
-
- ==>>>If you run into problems, follow the instructions in the BUGS file<<<==
