Don't even look.  The Makefile is broken - windowargs.c is no longer
necessary.  The Makefile we use to do the builds for the release makes
some assumptions about the environment which are extremely unlikely to
be valid at a customer site, so we keep a separate one to install with
the source.  There were some last minute changes to Jet, just before the
release was packaged up for final test and shipment, and the Makefile
changes didn't get checked in.  (We did find this during testing, but
it wasn't considered critical enough to restart the release process for.)

>(Btw Pat, your From and Reply-To fields are looking a bit terse.)

Umm, how terse?  I'm running an xview-based newsreader at home, connected
to our newsserver at work via NNTP over PPP.  To make sure that all of my
mail goes to one place, I manually munge the headers so that my postings
appear to come from my work machine.  I may have made some bad assumptions
about what the underlying posting code will do to the headers after I hit
the deliver button...

(Please try to e-mail any response to this question - this really isn't
the right group for this digression...)
