I presume you are referring to the implementation on the 3B2 machines -
we have been unable to get Vermont Views to compile on the 3B2's while
it compiles no problem on the AT&T 386 Unix ver 3.2. THe problem has been
that Vermont Views needs a larger sysmbol table than the "stock" cc allows.

I understand that the problem is fixed in the compiler that comes with ver 4,
and costs about $500 otherwise.
