Do use it! However for 'notes' users there is a problem. Dicks sources are longer than 2**16. So something is missing and the tail of the file looks like: moves the tape over .I t TM's, .I i IRG's (but not over a TM) and .I c characters (but not over an IRG). If the instructi smu ignored 34 excess bytes /* End of text from smu:net.sources */ This occurs in the file `magtp.1'. I've sent Dick a mail about it so he will probably follow it up. : gertjan vinkesteyn, SIL DALLAS ..{allegra,ctvax,ihnp4,rice,uiucds,unmvax}!convex!smu!txsil!gertjan
