It also has #ifdef MSDOS tests in it, which would seem to imply that it would run under MSDOS, which would imply some relatively general portability. (After all, if it will run under MSDOS, it can't do anything fancy, can it?) It required a few minor changes to get it to compile--email me for details. I only just recently compiled it, and I haven't actually downloaded & linked any of the files that it produced, so take this posting for what it's worth. Since it just calls open(), write(), &c, the only problem I could think of that it might have would be byte ordering.... Writing this has prompted me to go off & look at the source just now, and I believe that I will have to fix byte ordering before it will work. Luckily, it all the writes seems to go through one routine, so I only have to make one fix. -- Andrew Heybey, atheybey@ptt.lcs.mit.edu, uunet!ptt.lcs.mit.edu!atheybey
