[stuff about posting sources deleted]

Points taken, although other people (including Joachim) have disagreed
with you.  Would it be better to post Coherent sources on, say,
alt.sources or comp.sources.misc?

Do you mean the shar file?  I don't really see any other way to post
multiple files.  If you had trouble unsharring it, try getting the
latest version of sh from mwcbbs, or cshar from piggy.  If you mean one
of the source files, I edited them all with no problem using elvis.

It did on my machine--I used the "make" provided with Coherent 3.1.0.
