Changes made for the Amiga version:
- added in definitions for memset, memcpy
- added in correct include files
- included alloca and getopt distributed with GnuGrep
- wrote BSD-like opendir, readdir, and closedir for the Amiga
(see dir.c, dir.h)
- wrote memchr, and rewrote memmove and panic
If a memory exhausted error occurs, don't worry. (Be happy.)
This version of sed uses the Manx heapmem routines. These routines
pre-allocate a fixed size chunk of memory to deal out in the
individual malloc and realloc calls. If you want to increase the
size of this chunk, there is a global variable called _Heapsize,
which is set in main() in sed.c. Currently, it is set at 80K.
You may change it to be bigger (or smaller), but I found that
80K was about right. This means, of course, that GnuSed requires
120-150K of memory or so to run, with the 80K being a contiguous block.
This is still GNU code, and as such, it conforms to the GNU
public license. (see the comment at the beginning of grep.c)
