For it to work on a 32 bit machine, some ints in the old unpacking code have to be changed to shorts, but it's no big deal. You have to rename the old packed files from *.p to *.z, but unpack is smart enough to figure out what kind of packed file it is and unpack it correctly. John Levine, ima!johnl
