Mr. Schyndel, I think your flaming is misplaced. Most of the people in this discussion are not claiming that all software posted to the net should support all variants of Unix. They are saying that authors should *identify* the dependencies in their introductory postings when posting source to the net, so that people do not go through the trouble of downloading and unpacking the sources, only to discover that they won't compile. -- Jonathan Kamens USnail: MIT Project Athena 11 Ashford Terrace jik@Athena.MIT.EDU Allston, MA 02134 Office: 617-253-8085 Home: 617-782-0710
