   I am the author of these programs.  It is quite possible that they do
   not compile or run flawlessly on the sun machines, as I wrote them on
   a vax and had no Sun to test them on.  If anyone out there would like
   to put a bit of work into debugging them on those platforms, I would
   be more than willing to give what help I can.

   BTW: How do you know they constantly dump core if you cannot compile them. :-)

My apologies for the cut.  Its actually a pretty flashy interface even
on sun although the "popup" menus are a real bother.  The new
"dynamic" scrollbars are a lot of fun and quite useful. (Compiles on
sun, dumps frequently, feels like an uninitialized variable although a
null pointer reference might feel the same.  (I'll check it out when I
can recompile -g). Text widget does not compile on sequent, the very
long string constants, (several pages), choke their compiler.)
