I recently came across a program which had a shell file called "Configure" in it. The program asked questions, tried things, and eventually produced a configuration file for the system I was compiling. The head of the Configure file has this comment in it: # $Header: Head.U,v 2.0 88/06/28 23:13:13 lwall Locked $ # # Yes, you may rip this off to use in other distribution packages. # (Note: this Configure script was generated automatically. Rather than # working with this copy of Configure, you may wish to get metaconfig.) There was no description anywhere of where to get metaconfig. Anybody know? Thanks, Leigh. klotz@parc.xerox.com

You probably want the archive labelled "dist2" in Volume 16 of the comp.sources.unix archives. According to the index file on uunet.uu.net, it's "Larry Wall's Configure generator, etc." -- Jonathan Kamens USnail: MIT Project Athena 11 Ashford Terrace jik@Athena.MIT.EDU Allston, MA 02134 Office: 617-253-8085 Home: 617-782-0710
