It is not a wise idea to distribute Elm as a binary.  Its configuration
step sets up too many local parameters including node and domain names.

It can be done, but it is very difficult.

Also: re this thread, SCO Unix uses MMDF, Elm 2.3 supports MMDF,
2.2 does not.  2.3 was released 5/1/90 and should appear in
comp.sources.unix shortly.
