Yeah, I've had a problem or two (:-)) getting some other packages to
compile and functions properly, but Elm was the first thing I ever put
up from the Net and I still haven't seen anything else as easy.  Right
out of the box is right.  For my money Syd and Co. have done a great job
making this thing portable and on SCO Unix V.3.2.2 I think it may have
even configured and compiled itsself (well, not quite that easy).
