I tried making this post over the weekend, but my mailer decided that it was
a good day to die.  I don't think this made it, but if it did, my apologies
for the repeat:
_____________________________________________________________________________
I've noticed that the Abekas Control Panel software provided in
4Dgifts/iristools bombs under 4.0.X.  It worked great under 3.x, and it
compiles without any (serious) problems under 4.0.X.  However, when you try
to run it, you get an "Illegal instruction" message and then it dumps core.
I assume this is related to the move to X-Windows in 4.0, but before I dig
into it, has anyone out there already made the necessary hacks?  If the
collective answer is "No" and I finally get around to fixing it, would anyone
be interested in the updated version? (Dave? Vernon? Calvin? Sam? Anybody?)
Thanks in advance for any (helpful) info!
