I had no trouble compiling or testing patchlevel 10 under NeXT OS 2.1 on my machine, so it must be a problem local to Dartmouth. In fact, this was the first time that I didn't have to edit config.sh to counteract the spaggetti-ish NeXT #include's notion of memcpy and patch perl.c to get around the similar problem with index and strchr. The finished product looks pretty solid to me. Joe Joe Christy | joe@math.bu.edu 17 Service Drive | Dept. of Math.
