Howdy-

> Here is a shell which sets up an anonymous ftp.

It took myslef and someone else quite a bit of head-scratching to make
your shell work under SunOS 4.1 entirely.  Specifically, the line:

> $$LIBC_CUR : /$$LIBC_CUR

which contains the variable target for the copying of the current shared
library does not work until changed to:

 $(LIBC_CUR) : /$(LIBC_CUR)

I hope this helps others who were equally stymied.  Please pass this
change on to the author (Douglas B. Moran, Artificial Intelligence
Center, SRI International).  Thanks.

         Peace,
