   Alright, STAR 1.03.3 will compile effortlessly on MS-DOS systems if
you use Microsoft C version 5.

FTP site is trix.ai.mit.edu, look in ~/pub/star-1.03.tar.Z

Make sure to read README.


1.03.1 fails with gcc 1.37.1 due to a compiler bug. It will compile
but won't work properly.

1.03.2 contains a debug trace which I had used to find out why gcc
fails, and missed to remove. It does compile on gcc 1.37.1 though.
The trace is on line 829 in star.c if you should feel like removing
it.

1.03.3 contains a terse STAR instruction set reference. Check
star.ref. If anyone feels like TeXifying this, please do so and I will
include it in the next release, perhaps with a PostScript version as
well.

Happy hacking,
