I've just built most of the Andrew sources as they appear on the
CD-ROM release.  The build proceeded without a hitch, but I can't say
the same for actually running Ez.  When reading text with a large
inset visible, scrolling backwards via a right-click in the scrollbar
sometimes causes a core dump.

My platform is an SGI Indigo running Irix 4.0.5F.  Before I go hunting
for the cause of this bug, can anyone tell me whether I'd be
duplicating someone else's efforts?  And incidentally, how much has
the source changed since the CD-ROM release (I hesitate to ask)?

Finally, I too would like to know what my printing alternatives are
these days in the absence of ditroff.  Has anyone tried using groff
with Andrew?
