<LI> <B>July 1, 1999 (HU):</B>
<UL>

<LI> Updates for defs.y from Danil.
<LI> Clean-up to reduce warnings.
<LI> Reference output for the examples.
</UL>
<LI> <B>July 5, 1999 (AM):</B>
<UL>
<LI> Key issue: a line (the body of a while loop!) had mysteriously disappeared
from defs.y, causing several problems with printes/printoneline
<LI> Lesser issue: a long-standing syntax glitch caused all input of the form
"-" followed by a digit to be interpreted as a single token, thus
mandating a separating spaces in non-obvious places, e.g.:
"spades(south)-2" would be an error, "spades(south)- 2" correct.
I fixed that by removing from scan.l the lexical production for negative
number and adding "ARMINUS NUMBER" to defs.y for nonterminal
"number"; shift/reduce conflicts go up from 9 to 16 but I don't think that
breaks anything (I'm not sure how to test for this specifically).
<LI> Sundry stuff: some clarifications & error fixes in the manual HTML files.
</UL>
<LI> <B>July 7, 1999 (DS):</B> Macro for hascard() and interesting() to
reduce the number of ifdef's.
<LI> <B>July 13, 1999 (HU):</B> Review of manual.
<LI> <B>August 3, 1999 (HU):</B> Included defs.c in the distribution (for
people that don't have yacc on their machine).
Removed libgnurand.a from the distribution,
the binary doesn't belong in there.
Added a few comments about compiling to the manual.
<LI> <B>August 21, 1999 (HU):</B> Check range for -s value, rotate dealer in
pbn output, suggestions from
Alan Jaffray (jaffray@pobox.com).
Print board number in printall output,
suggested by Thorvald Aagaard
(aagaard@webtrade.dk).
<LI> <B>May 26, 2004 (HU):</B> Finally found time for this again.
<UL>
<LI> Made it compile without warnings on GCC 3.3.1
<LI> Instructions for compiling on Darwin
