I recently did get the sources for 4D(061), the same one originally
distributed with SV/AT (are there any others?).  I used the makefile
included to build it under SV/AT, and it seems to have worked perfectly.
When I tried the same thing under ISC 386/ix, the compiler fails.  It
turns out that things like 'unchar' are now defined in one of the system
header files, causing a conflickt with some definitions in the kermit 
sources.  I'm going to fix the kermit sources, along with the lock
files for HDB (*when I have time*).  I'll be happy to post, if requested.
(Hmmm... to save the deluge, how 'bout if I post a notice here when it's
done and working, then people can write to request it.)

While I'm at it, is there any reason that I shouldn't use a link from
/usr/spool/uucp/LCK*  to /usr/spool/locks/LCK* if both directories
exist?  That way, the correct lock should exist regardless of which
version of UUCP is running.  Thoughts on this anyone?
