retail

        Actually, I wrote retail before I went to TIS, and put
it in the Gauntlet baseline because it needed it. So I'm not
sure who the code really belongs to - I believe it belongs to
me. However, I wouldn't want to mess with Network Associates'
army of lawyers over a 15 minute coding hack. There's whole
chunks of Gauntlet code that are actually old libmjr code from
back when I worked at Welch Library and Hopkins Hospital. :)
The enargv() code, for example, came out of a MUD I wrote when
I was a researcher at University of MD. (as did the NFR interpreter)
Aaaah, compu-archeology.

        For log checking, use Craig Rowland's stuff; it's good.

PS: moral: never give your code to your employer. It serves
only to make them wealthy and gets you a warm feeling in
return. ;)
