748.1	Fixed in UWS 2.1, I think	FLUME::dike		`Tue May 09 1989 13:53`	4
	If they're running 2.0, the release notes contain instructions to fix this problem. Jeff
748.2		GILMOR::TESTA		`Wed May 10 1989 17:37`	3
	I looked in the release notes and made a test case with my own calloc function. It did not fix the problem.
748.3	Do they have their own version of malloc?	ENXIO::thomas	The Code Warrior	`Wed May 10 1989 18:02`	2
	If so, have them create there own version of calloc and cfree as well.
748.4		GILMOR::TESTA		`Wed May 10 1989 18:19`	14
	I did find the information in the release note for V2.1. I tried the following on my test program, and did not get the conflict. ar x /lib/libc.a calloc.o cc program.c calloc.o -lX11 and I added -lcursesX Hoepfully this will fix ther problem. Thanks
