FIXED:  bug in the diff'' Makefile
	In attempting to make diff, there is a bad flag, -d2, to 
	the loader. Apparently this means something on the VAX,
	but not on an 11.

Right.  This is a flag to the VAX assembler which specifies the number
of bytes to be assembled for offsets which involve forward or external
references.  It should be deleted from the ``diff'' Makefile:

	diff src/diff/Makefile.old src/diff/Makefile:
	5c5
	 CFLAGS= -O -DDIFF='"${DIFF}"' -DDIFFH='"${DIFFH}"' -DPR='"${PR}"'

This fix should be applied to all tapes made before 9/27/81.
