I give up.  I finally got epoch4.0p0 built on this lame-ass piece of sh*t
(see previous messages, plus I had to undef HAVE_RANDOM and BSTRING in
ascii/config.h because SCO puts those routines in libX.a -- idiots.) and it
immediately barfs because gethostname() doesn't work!

The call is correct according to the spec, but it's returning -1.  Perror
tells me it's an "invalid argument."  (Yeah, right.)

So I hack around that and I start getting "Xlib: sequence lost..." errors.
The epoch process then goes into CPU-eating mode and I eventually kill it
from the command line.

If anyone manages to port this thing to SCO (though why you'd waste your
time with this lame-ass system if you didn't have to is beyond me), please
let me know how you did it.

A++ is an object-oriented version of a perfect score.
