In other words, it doesnt recognize a "straight" stuffit file. (gsshk does). NuPak also gags when unpacking certain stuffit files... I spent a whole weekend making sure that gs/shrinkit doesn't. andy -- Yeah!

At any rate, when I finish the beta version I'm going to sit on it for about a week (anybody willing to ftp the thing from [avalanche|headcrash|tornado] .berkeley.edu is welcome to test it; it'll be nulib300B.tar.Z). Hopefully I'll post it to comp.SOURCES.apple2 next weekend.

I was wondering if you could send me a BINSCII'ed compiled copy of it when it
is completed? Unfortunately, i don't have a C compile. I just have a pascal
compiler. :(
Thanks

I would like to install the latest version of NuLib on my system here and am wondering where I can get it from and if there are any docs with it telling me how to install and compile it on my system (UNIX System V Release 3.2.1 AT&T 3B2). Thanks in advance! -- This is my ".sig" file. (I can tell, you're excited now....) Ron acct069@carroll1.cc.edu or carroll1!acct069@uwm.edu

I am looking for help in installing NuLib on my system, I've gotten all the files, but am having trouble getting it to compile. I'm running on a "UNIX System V Release 3.2.1 AT&T 3B2". I've talked with Andy McFadden about it and he said that he can't help me out because he doesn't have access to a machine similar to this one. So, if anyone out there has gotten NuLib to run on a "3B2" machine, please send E-Mail describing how to do it. Many thanks in advance! -- This is my ".sig" file. (I can tell, you're excited now....)
