I picked up mgr from uunet and tried to install it over the last
couple of days.  There are problems.  First, make sure you read
all the README files and do the fixes they specify.  They are:

* fix up all the control characters (see README.FIRST)
* cat src/copyright.h.[123456] > src/copyright.h
* cat lib/scribe.c.[1234] > lib/scribe.c
* uudecode the fonts

There are, however, two other bugs which bit me (i.e. they cause
make to fail):

1:  sys/kbd.c has this silly line (line 23):
    #   include "<sys/termios.h>"
    This should probably be:
    #include <sys/termios.h>

2:  There is supposed to be a file called doc/usrman.out
    It doesn't exist.  I made an empty one to get make over it,
    assuming that mgr would run without whatever this document
    is supposed to be.

Make complains of many errors while installing mgr, even with
these fixes.  All of them are reported with something like:
    "*** Error code 1: (ignored)"

Some of them do look ignorable, but there are mysterious things
which look more serious.  e.g.: "mv mgr _mgr" fails because the
file mgr doesn't exist.  "ln mgr mgr" also fails.

Thus, even though I got make to run all the way through, mgr was
probably in a bad state.  This seemed to be indicated further by
the fact that running mgr causes a segmentation fault.  It will
run with -v or -V and print version information, but otherwise it
dies without touching the screen. 

Has anyone out there got fixes for mgr?  I would like to try it 
out (as, I am sure, do many others on the net).  An informed 
posting to the net would be reasonable at this point.  Email to
me would be appreciated, but perhaps less helpful to other lost
soles.  

BTW, I tried putting mgr on a SUN 3, running SunOS 4.0.  I don't
believe this is an oddball system.
