Yes, I would certainly subscribe to a STUG tools newsgroup.

As an aside: I've finally had some success in bringing up yacc and lex
from the toys tape, but I haven't used them much.  There were at least
two problems I encountered in lex - (i) the routine "esc" seems not to
have been supplied and is NOT compatible with the standard one in the
library (it is fairly simple to create a new "esc" by looking to see
what the code expects); (ii) there were some non-standard character escape
sequences ("@^a") which caused "negative character class" error
messages.  More details on request.

I'm looking for:
a) a ratfor version of "make"
b) someone who can tell me why the shared library versions of the
   tools (using RLIBSHARE.EXE) run 2x slower than the non-shared
   versions.
