Well, I've *got* tartarus.uwa.edu.au:/pub/oreillym/term067.tar.Z,
but it doesn't know how to compile under anything other than Linux,
Sun-OS, or Ultrix... and then, only with the GNU C compiler.
Unfortunately, the only machine with "gcc" which I have an account on
is an Apollo running HP's rendition of BSD4.3. It may take me a long
while to figure out what modifications this package needs to compile
on such a platform. <sigh...>
Anyone willing to give me some clues? This package looks really nice,
especially since I only have one phone line, but I'd like to do file
transfer stuff in the background (rather than in an over-night batch).
