   You can get Epoch from a.cs.uiuc.edu, in /pub/epoch (i think)....we've
compiled it here under NeXTstep 2.0, running XNeXT. Epoch under NeXTstep alone
is coming. (I'm working on it, I'm working on it! :) )

I got the file called epoch-next.tar.Z on a .cs.uiuc.edu. Although the
executable works (with particular paths to lisp libraries...) I could
not recompile it. 

When trying to compile dispepoch.c, it chokes on including stdio.h,
with messages like:

line 74: parse error before `char'
line 75: parse error before `char'
line 82:  parse error before `const'
.
.
.



I suspect that many necessary compilation options are needed and are
not in the Makefile. 

I would like to know if anybody had some success compiling it, and
with what compilation options.
