Because of the RTT to some of the machines I have to edit code on,
I decided to dig out the copy of sam I downloaded a few years ago,
and get it going again. [1]

As part of this I did a few hacks,  the main one being ripping out the
code in sam that plumbs together the io between samterm and sam,  moving
it into a seperate stub starter - just 'cause I want to play some games
with the startup sequence when using SSH - anyone interested in these?

The other hack (for the moment) is removing the '\n' appended to the
use of the 'Send' menu choice.  I find it more useful without the
newline - does anyone actually find it useful with the newline?

I also noticed what appears to be a couple of bugs in the use of tmpcstr()
and freetmpstr().  I've had a glance at my copy of the 3rd ed. plan 9
sources,  and these still appear to be there (one incorrectly fixed),
but since I've not looked at the 4th ed. source yet,  I don't know if
they still applies.

So I have diffs against the old netlib version,  which probably aren't of
much interest and the following (hand hacked) diffs which may well
apply to the plan 9 version.  If someone want's to patch the unix
netlib version,  then it may be of help to some other people...

One of these days,  I really should get a copy of plan 9 running on a
machine to try it out...

[1] I also grabbed the latest 1998 copy from netlib to compare,  and
    apart from changing a bunch of copyright lines (advancing 6 years)
    from AT&T -> Lucent,  not much seems to have been altered.

    Mind - as a red rag to the licencing wags - the licence for the
    netlib verison of sam is very liberal...
