If the version you got from SIMTEL was labeled:
PD:<UNIX-C.ARC-PROGS>ARC.SHAR.Z, dated sometime around 3-7-88, then you
have something about 3 revisions out of date. Check out comp.sources.unix
for the latest. It works quite a bit better, although it still has a bug
or two in it. I've got most of the patches put together now, and a newer
scandir.c for Sys V as well, so you should also watch comp.sources.bugs
in about a day or two for the "official" patch file...
