There were no diffs for gnudiff, other than cutting at the makefile comment-
out the Gcc and enable the SYS-V stuff.  (Caveat: I have installed POSIX
directory searching code on "my" Towers, but I think there is some support
for this stuff in the C libraries anyway.)  Don't use -O2 with any Gnu
stuff--use -O1.  High optimization breaks alloca on the Tower, and the Gnu
folks *love* alloca.

Haven't yet updated to the new RCS version, but I really don't expect much
problem there, either.

If you're having problems installing these, send me e-mail.  I keep a
variety of tools on these Towers (a V.2 600 and and V.3 500): perl, RCS,
flex, Gnu-diff, dmake, etc.  Generally installing V.x p.d. software on the
Tower is pretty easy, though.
