   Like several people pointed out, I had accidentally set mode 660
instead of 664 on ~/pub/sad-1.02.tar.Z. It's fixed since yesterday.
(The machines have been down here though, so I haven't been able to
tell the world.)

   Also, the server went down while I was answering a message, and the
message subsequently was lost. (Not even saved in mbox.) The person
needed help on unpacking the archive on a unix system. So, this is how
to do it, after you have brought over the compressed tar archive:

	# First create a directory, put the archive in it, and make it
	# the current.

	uncompress <sad-1.02.tar.Z | tar xvf -

	# watch it unfold

	mkdir dist-1.02
	mv sad-1.02.tar.Z dist-1.02

	more README


   If you don't have {un}compress, GNU Compress is available as
~/pub/compress.c. (This is not all of GNU Compress, but enough.
Consider it to be available along with sad 1.02, under the GPL -- see
COPYING.) Get it with FTP, and:

	make compress
	mv compress some-bin/compress
	(cd some-bin; ln compress uncompress)

   On MS-DOS, check the source to see what needs to be defined. If I
remember correctly it should compile with MSDOS defined.

Good luck and happy hacking!
