I'm not quite sure what your problem is, Jef.  All those #ifdef
sequent's in there are delimiting code I added or modified.  It
certainly does have quite a lot to do with Sequents.

If you are refering to the Makefile changes, I assume that anyone who
has ever compiled anything will look at the Makefile and see that some
things need to be changed, commented or uncommented.  This version was
pulled from the sources area RCS directory on our systems.  This
version is not *only* for the Sequent -- it just has modifications to
allow it to function on a Sequent.  Otherwise, it is identical to the
version on Rice.edu.  The Makefile must be modified to get it to
compile on the Sequent rather than on some other system.

If you are talking about something else, please let me know what it is
instead of simply stating that some mysterious change is necessary.  I
*have* compiled this version on both of our Sequents.  It tends to
work just fine.
