the  problem seems to  be the  CLIB. A disassembly  of the call to the
CLIB sais that the program wants to have  CLIB  Version !4.0! - what's
this?  Well, seems that Alan  Glover has  not tested this Program in a
standart Archie environment (in fact, the  Wimpslotsize of  200K was a
bit small, too. The unsqueezed binary is more than 200K in size).
This gives me the impression, that this Program has not been tested at all.
What was again the moderators job?

Well, never mind this one...
