I recently dowloaded pathalias ( Ver 9) and I am having difficulties
getting  it running. I have had version 8 running on my system for the
last several months with no problems.  The hardware I am using is an 
Altos 2086 (286 box) running Xenix.

Now, I am by no means a C wizard but I can wing it a bit. The first run through
the compile yielded a problem with "_memset" so I UNDEF'd it. The second
compile ran through ok but the program crashed when I ran it. I re-read the
config.h instructions and then commented out MYMALLOC. Upon re-compilation
the program ran. 

The errors pathalias is giving  me are your basic "Out of memory. Allocated
26k. Contact the authorities." brand message. My first thought was to 
modify the make to use the large model option. When I did that though
I was greeted with pointer errors and core dumps. Has anyone experienced
similar difficulties in getting the program to run? Are  there patches 
available?
