Yep, that worked. Thank you very much. I spent about half an hour trying to
figure out how to change the shell before I saw your e-mail.
Now to the next question.
The INSTALL file says:
"Post-compilation installation should be a simple matter
of copying the executable to a normal place for web2c
binaries and generating the desired formats."
This might as well say "... should be a simple matter of executing black
magic that you will know if you already know it" :-)
Would anyone care to elaborate on the instructions so that a mere mortal
can accomplish this? [I vaguely recall something about generating a format
file somewhere around 1984. Ampersands played a part, I think. I'm rambling.]
I'm sorry if I'm missing something obvious that I should already know.
