Were you able to compile the source code? LISTER was my first ever C program,
and I may have left in some bugs that would cause it to not run on all
systems. By compiling the program and seeing if it runs, you can tell if the
problem is with the downloaded file or with my logic.

Me too!!! Grant Delaney asked me if it were OK to post these puppies, but I
was unable to respond to his request (my mail bounced back). I really wish
to express my undying gratitude to him for packing/formatting/grunging/splitting
and uploading all of those programs!
