Some of us do our best to be portable, but somehow miss the bus.  (UNaXcess is
my present example... :-()  Besides which, nobody ever assured you that ANYTHING
in this newsgroup would run on your computer, whether it's for your OS or not.

Kindly stuff it and let us get back to the serious business of posting sources.

(First they flame posting binaries, now they flame posting sources.  I suppose
rmgroup comp.sources.unix is next.  If it happens I'll do the newgroup myself.)
