Re: Lua v5.0 on Mac (Carbon)

[Ando Sonenblick <ando@...>]

I too came across this when incorporating the sources.   I couldn¹t find
anything better than renaming the mac's check to "maccheck" (and changing
all the references to it as well).

I chose to edit the mac's files because it looks so esoteric and like
nothing encountered in my daily work.

Whereas I knew lua would be using its check...
