Like several people pointed out, I had accidentally set mode 660
instead of 664 on ~/pub/sad-1.02.tar.Z. It's fixed since yesterday.
(The machines have been down here though, so I haven't been able to
tell the world.)
Also, the server went down while I was answering a message, and the
message subsequently was lost. (Not even saved in mbox.) The person
needed help on unpacking the archive on a unix system. So, this is how
to do it, after you have brought over the compressed tar archive:
# First create a directory, put the archive in it, and make it
# the current.
uncompress <sad-1.02.tar.Z | tar xvf -
# watch it unfold
mkdir dist-1.02
mv sad-1.02.tar.Z dist-1.02

If you don't have {un}compress, GNU Compress is available as
~/pub/compress.c. (This is not all of GNU Compress, but enough.
Consider it to be available along with sad 1.02, under the GPL -- see
COPYING.) Get it with FTP, and:
make compress
mv compress some-bin/compress
(cd some-bin; ln compress uncompress)
On MS-DOS, check the source to see what needs to be defined. If I
remember correctly it should compile with MSDOS defined.
Good luck and happy hacking!
