Well, I took a bit of time to get Patch 12 up on all my machines. Sun3/Sunos4.0[.3], Sun4/Sunos4.0, and Sun386i/Sunos4.0.1 worked fine. However, my VAXen running Ultrix 2.0 somehow insisted on considering 'volatile' to be a valid attribute. So, now there are *two* things to fix in config.sh at that nearly-last prompt. To wit (ala 'ed' commands): /ndbm/s/define/undef/ /volatile/s/define/undef/ Otherwise, it works with all the default answers. Larry, for the few other poor souls that are stuck with 4-year-old Ultrix bits, please put this in the next README, or figure out why it might be indicating that 'volatile' exists in a crufty old compiler. $_="Just another Perl hacker,";s`.`sleep 1;echo -n "$&" >&2`eg; -- /=Randal L.

What we need is a test case that will blow up for your compiler. Could
you come up with something shorter than perl itself? I don't have access
to a "classic" Ultrix.

Not portable, alas.
