If it don't work on your machine, then I can't help you. 1. Source is always preferable to binary. For one, it is usually smaller on nearly all machines (all riscs, for example) (especially if compiled with an inefficient compiler). Secondly, others can modify the source, fix it, add new features, etc. 2. Your binary wil _only_ work on Suns like yours. Other Unices, Dos, Mac, VMS, etc. (probably even some other Suns) will not run it. If anybody has the source for this, could they please post it. Or, alternatively, explain what it's supposed to do. --Jake >Don. >-- >"The human race is a remarkable creature, one with great potential, and I >hope that Star Trek has helped to show us what we can be if we believe >in ourself and our abilities." -Gene Roddenberry (1921-1991) > Don Bennett (dbe...@europa.cs.mun.ca)
