Hmmm.. Figured I would compile the distribution of Omega on my UNIX pc
and ran into the normal conversion problems from BSD to System V.

Also I had to rename the files that were over 14 characters long ;-)

#include <strings.h>     ->   #include <string.h>
#include <sys/timeb.h>   ->   #include <time.h>

srandom() -> srand()
random()  -> rand()

After all that and this I had this linking error.
[...]
ld: can't allocate output section *group*, of size     36ae08
ld fatal: internal error: audit_groups, findsanode failure
*** Error code 13

Stop.

Hmmm... Then I tried linking it with the shared libraries, it linked
with a size of:

-rwxr-xr-x  1 lenny   icus     420708 Jan 26 19:24 omega

Ugh!  Then after all that, I wanted to see if it was all worth it ...

$ omega
sh: omega: too big

Double Ugh!  Oh well... I guess it isn't worth it :-) ... Not for 800+
of executable (stripped, and linked with shared libraries ???)
