Hi there!  I'm sort of a novice at this, so bear with me if my question isn't
very clear.  Hopefully someone can help me anyways.

I'm using a SGI Indigo computer (4.0.5) that is connected to two other Indigos
by NFS and NIS.  Recently I downloaded the source code for Elm2.4 for unix and
attempted to compile it on our systems.  I used the 'Configure' program which 
went through a series of questions about the system; I believe I answered these
correctly.  When I finished, I entered the command 'make documentation' which
started correctly but ended with an 'error #255; Stopped'.  A similar result 
occurred when I entered 'make all >& MAKELOG &', which was supposed to create
the /bin files (it didn't).

	First some simple questions.  The documentation doesn't specifically
say that Elm will work with SGI's.  Has anyone been able to this successfully?
If so, could you supply some hints or a 'walkthrough'?.  Any help would be 
greatly appreciated.
