djf ist usable on 3.0. either get the file
	djf_for_3.0.tar.Z from sonata.cc.purdue.edu in /pub/next/submissions
or
        the same file from ftp.informatik.uni-muenchen.de in  
/pub/next/Utils/printer

Another way is just to recompile djf on 3.0 while getting the file
/usr/include/sys/table.h from a 2.1 System. This file was split for
3.0 but one part was miraculously forgotten.

cheers
