It appears that the NeXTs are also lacking <limits.h>.  And that with gcc as
the standard compiler.

Anyone on c.s.N know why <limits.h> is not included (yet?)?  An oversight?
Not neccessary?  Anyone from NeXT care to comment?  (Or should I ask Mr.
Jobs in ~8 hrs? ;-)

[For the benefit of the c.s.n readers who are not following the discussion
on c.s.b, the pax program recently posted to comp.sources.unix failed to
make on someone's UNIX PC.  I had the same problem compiling it on a NeXT.
Neither computer had the file <limits.h>, which gets included if __STDC__ is
defined, as it should be in gcc.]
