There are several versions of gulam floating around.  Some of them
have 'problems' passing parameters to programs.  Enter the following
from inside gulam to find if you are using one of the versions in
question:

:gulam.prg -c ls

If another gulam runs and you get a 'ls' directory listing, you got
one of the older gulams that passes parameters to programs.

I am entering this reply with our rn program.  It pexecs gulam and
passing it the command line '-c ue article.old article.new.'.  The
version of gulam that will take the command line is

	beta test version 1.00.00.02 110287

We have used the _shell_p TOS variable with gulam to test the two
entry points.  They work.  I do not have the source of the tests to ul
:-).  We were using V 1.03.04.04.  I will look for the demo in my
spare time (* spare time???  *)

  We also updated the gulam.hlp file to added error messages.  That
version of gulam is

	beta test version 1.03.04.04 121387

with a notice of changes by ggf@jsbbs.  That version will take error
files from Jefferson Software's compiler and go from line to line in
the source file.  It works with MWC error messages, but complains
about the lack of an EOL on the last line on messages generated by
redirecting the error messages.

  We plan on getting in touch with pm and bammi soon (* real soon?
see comment above on time *) to see what the latest version is.
And to get the (* hope hope!!!! *) minix version. (* if there is one *)
(* and with zmodem built in *) (* and with the ability to edit the te
buffer *) (* and and and ... *)
