Trying to compile MH for 386BSD 0.1.  Several minor problems, including
one with the FILE structure.  Apparently, MH is quite naughty, and uses
some of the internals of the FILE structure, namely:

ptr
base
cnt

Now, 386BSD has the internals of the FILE structure set up differently,
and I would most definitely prefer not to have to dig through the source
to figure out what correspondences [mostly because stdio.h files that I've
looked at in places OTHER than 386BSD are poorly documented].

Is there anyone who can tell me if there are direct correspondences to
the above internals in the 386BSD stdio.h file, and what they are?

Thanks.

Shannon
