Has anyone tried or gotten this to work under Ultrix 4.0?  There's a lot of
what I think are warnings about non-ANSI complient things during compile.
But I'm sure some of them must be more serious than that.  Seems like it could
just be part of the program that processes input, since output looks ok
initially.
I'd really like to have this so I don't have to keep folding files when I 
transfer them back to the TDS.
