I agree with TC here. Using "forms.h" instead of <forms.h> is a good thing.

Unless you muck with compiler options, <forms.h> is /usr/include/forms.h.
There may be people using XForms on systems where it hasn't been installed
in /usr/include, or the version there may be old. There's no reason NOT to
use "forms.h", since it allows a local copy to override the system copy.
