17aad04201 There used to be a limit of 65k on the size of the describe
database source when using descu.  This limit was imposed
	due to a bug in ORCA/C (it is no longer clear whether
	this was a bug in malloc(3) or in array indexing code).
	As of ORCA/C v2.1.x, this bug appears to be fixed, so
	the limit was lifted.
A couple of calls to lseek(2) didn't have their return values
	checked for errors.  Fixed.
Updated email address for Devin Reade.

b00e9eb797 Makefile:
- Renamed from makefile.mk to Makefile.
	- Updated for proper operation as part of GNO build.
	- Discontinue use of vaend.c, basename.c for GNO v2.0.6.

descu:
	- Document ability to specify an output file vice stdout
	  (this feature was already in, but not documented)
	- Allow the output file to be the same name as the first
	  input file (it will be overwritten).
	- Fix buffer overrun bugs that occured when:
		a) There was no initial input file; or
		b) There are no headers in the first input file; or
		c) There are no trailers in the first input file; or
	- Increased SLOTS_QUANTUM from 20 to 64, hopefully increasing
	  the speed on large files.
	- fixed stack check code to use the new routines names
	- put version number in lockstep with descc and describe

descc:
	- descc will now change the database file type to BIN, if it
	  wasn't already so.
	- changed default location of system database
	- fixed stack check code to use the new routines names
	- put version number in lockstep with descu and describe


describe:
	- changed default location of system database
	- fixed stack check code to use the new routines names

5ab0aa962f First beta version of describe v1.0.3 sent out by Soenke on 28 Jan 95.
Main changes include:
	searches are now case insensitive
	Lexicographic order in the database was incorrect; if two
	   keywords matched in the first N chars, the wrong entry
	   may be returned.
	Added a va_end() function since it is used by GNO open(2)
	   and Orca/C v2.0.4b now declares that as a macro.
