If you are refering to X3323prog.tgz, I did download and install it and
still get core dumps.
In fact any time I type "make" I get a core dump, in any directory. It
apparently gets as far as looking for the Makefile and then gets real
unhappy. Seems like I've seen somewhere information on reading a core
file, but I can't remember where. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Dave
