Hi Günter,

Thanks very much for submitting this patch. I would be prepared to
accept it, apart from a couple of small problems, which I hope we can
overcome:
1. The patch contains a copyright notice assigning copyright to
Gabor Keresztfalvi. The FSF cannot accept the patch unless the
copyright is assigned over to it.
Note - normally in order to accept any kind of submission a
special copyright assignment form has to be completed as well,
but exceptions can be made in the case of simple, obvious patches.
I am prepared to do this in this case, since the patch could also
have been submitted in words - "swap the order of the MeSsAgEs and
CoPyRiGhT tags". But, the copyright notice at the start of the
patch:
# (c) Nov-2000 by Gabor Keresztfalvi <keresztg@mail.com>
still needs to be resolved. Since the patch explicitly includes a
copyright notice, the patch belongs to Gabor. He needs to
explicitly assign the copyright to that patch over to the FSF
before the FSF can accept it.
2. Patches need a ChangeLog entry to say what has changed.
Something very simple like this should do:
2002-04-09 Gabor Keresztfalvi <keresztg@mail.com>
* nlmcode.h (nlm_swap_auxiliary_headers_out): Swap order of
MeSsAgEs and CoPyRiGhT tags in order to work with NetWare
NW4.x and NW5.x loaders.
Cheers
Nick
