I just applied Patch#28 and did the Configure thing (is that like doing the "wild thing" on a computer? :^), and discovered that the "make depend" invocation failed on both the parent Makefile and the x2p/Makefile. It turns out that the "@ echo" statements were preceded by six blanks, rather than a tab character, which upsets the "make" on my DECStation 3100, under Ultrix 3.1. Here's a patch. Please note: the first set of lines are the old, incorrect lines, and there are six spaces between the '!' and the '@ echo' tokens, while the second set of lines are the new, correct lines, and there should be a single tab character between the '!' and '@'. You should verify this, since it may be possible that some mailers detabify the text.

From: aks@somewhere.ucsb.edu (Alan Stebbens) You should verify this, since it may be possible that some mailers detabify the text. Yes, indeed! Your message was broken in exactly that way. This explains why patches 19 to 27 were damaged when they arrived here, and caused me no end of trouble. Does anybody know which piece of software is doing this? And if so, can they kill it, please?

Cringely's always-funny column in INFOWORLD; this one from the April 16 issue: The reason Pammy doesn't understand my tax problems is that she avoids the tax system entirely. All her income comes in cash from men who pay her to order them around and tell them they are scum, which sounds like working for Steve Jobs only without the stock options.

I believe the culprit is a little program called BITNET. Go ahead, kill it.
