FLAME ON 

So are there document(s) which describes all the different UNIX versions
around (a standard ?? Just like RS232?).    And while we're at it, does 
someone have access to ALL the different UNIX platforms, so these programs
can be given a GOOD going over (for free, of course).

I thought the idea was to fix any problems, if possible, and mail these to 
the author (as well as post them - but DO mail, since the author could then
merge these patches and re-submit when there are enough of them).

Ron.
