If there is a makefile there, it will keep any comments you had when it produces the new one. It is available (source!) for a reasonable price, only $95. I didn't note what the binary sublicensing fee is, but I doubt it is a lot if the original price is only $95. The number for the toolchest (in case any missed it) is 201-522-6900. It is a 1200 Baud dial-in, which puts you into a cute little menu system, with pop-up help menues, and everything. -- Arnold Robbins CSNET: arnold@gatech ARPA: arnold%gatech.csnet@csnet-relay.arpa UUCP: { akgua, allegra, hplabs, ihnp4, seismo, ut-sally }!gatech!arnold Help advance the state of Computer Science: Nuke a PR1ME today!
