Re: lynx-dev Lynx 2.8 - VMS build problems (long)

[Liam Davis]

To follow up my previous posting, I find that I sent the wrong
difference listing for BUILD.COM. Sorry about that.

The extra change is in the definition of the /Include (at line 199 in
the original file).

Also, I have tested the build on VAX C 3.2-044 (VMS 5.5); this needs the
updated DESCRIP.MMS file in the top-level and VMS directories (but not
the updated DESCRIP.MMS in SRC, nor the extra /include in BUILD.COM). I
have not yet tried rebuilding with the DEC-C versions, but the extra
paths should not cause a problem.

- add extra /INCLUDE path to give access to headers in SRC.DIR
