      Yes, remove() is missing. It is called only once and it's argument
          is just a charector string.  I replaced it with code that simply
          nulls the argument string. This is problable wrong but at least
          it allowed me to compile (but not test) the program.

      Also missing is the file enctest.c, which is why I did not test the
          program.

      I also made the following "corrections" needed (at least on) Ultrix :
        o  File: Makefile
              line: cc sample ....
              change: deleted space from between -L ${LIBDIR}
        o  File: Makefile
               added compiler flag -DUNIX
                purpose: build.c requires UNIX to be defined is you are
                          running Unix. The -DUNIX flag for the compiler
                          will do this.  I could have put a #define UNIX
                          into build.c but it really belongs in Makefile
                          should it be needed later by other files that
                          are patched or enhanced.
