Hello XV users (or intended users!),

        I have had a couple reports that the copy of xv-2.21.tar.Z at
export is not working with the VMS patch kit that I have made available.
My investigation yielded that the current version of XV at export is
dated 25-Sep (not the late-April one that I had started with).  Since
the VMS edit/SLP is VERY touchy about line number counts, etc.  It was
apparently botching up the patches.  The novices (heh, we all were
once!) were not able to build it without lots of help.

        I have put together a new kit of 8 VMS_SHAREs and am looking for
a couple brave souls to try it out before I re-release it again.  ( Oh
hell, we might even be able to fix the age-old GRAB window bug!!! ;) )
Any takers?  I would want you to start by ftping the current version off
export and trying your best to follow the build instructions included in
the README.VMS.  I would appreciate it if you tried both the MMS style
and the command proceedure versions independently.  (I am assuming
whoever actually volunteers for this will probably already know how to
build XV, but the goal is to make sure I haven't left anything out of
the kit. )

        Please e-mail me if you are interested.

      They are extraordinarily like children, these little people of the
             Antarctic world, either like children, or like old men,
        full of their own importance and late for dinner, in their black
         tail-coats and white shirt-fronts -- and rather portly withal.
