 Now that I have the ver. 1.3 diffs and GNU sed, I decided to try and
 upgrade my ver. 1.2 system.
 
 Sed is not exactly working very well on my system. 
 1) Bit fields are not supported - no problem.
 2) when taking posting #19 out of shar I got a "out of string space" error.
     - Where did THAT error message come from?
 3) sed sometimes leaves a file with a size of 0 (zero). Flakey.
 
 could someone please e-mail me the source code to a <working> sed?
 I am not really thrilled with the idea of spelunking sed code right now.
 Thanks,

	Me too...  It would appear that while I received all the fixs
to sed, I never got the original source.  The "sed patches" I received
discussed a version that was posted sometime in late '87.  Could someone
please mail that to me, or better yet, if there seems to be a lot of
requests, repost it.
	
	Thanx in advance -
