I'll mention again that you can ftp this stuff from indri.primate.wisc.edu (128.104.230.11), in ~ftp/pub/imake-stuff. I'll also mention that although lots of people have grabbed the papers (there are two), very few have made any comments or suggestions. Since the paper on imake for X is by no means complete (sigh...) I'd still welcome anything people have to say about it. -- Paul DuBois dubois@primate.wisc.edu "The coach has to eat baloney and french fries" -- Ian D., age 3 1/2
