Well, I got the tar from precisely the location you mentioned >and it does not compile on a NeXTstation running 2.0. Hm. While he was working on this, John only had access to my NeXTstation, running 2.0. He didn't use any cubes at all, and my NeXTstation doesn't have any of the 1.0 stuff on it. I just copied the sources out of ~jgm/src on my Slab, and did a make from scratch on them. It worked perfectly. No problem whatsoever. If, indeed, the version you got off the archive site doesn't work under 2.0, the only explanation I can think of is that an outdated copy is installed there. The one on my machine is fine. Since John doesn't read this newsgroup because he's not a NeXT user these days, I'll forward your message off to him. -- Doug DeJulio ddj@zardoz.club.cc.cmu.edu
