A couple of other things:

1) If you're not using MultiNet, Wollongong, or another FTP that understands
   STRU O VMS, you need to transfer the ZIP files in *binary* mode.  More
   than a couple of copies have gone out ASCII, which is a big waste of
   your time.  Note that DEC's TCP/IP Services for VMS (aka UCX) does *not*
   support STRU O VMS transfers.

2) This version already has the patch that was posted by Richard Dyson, so
   you don't have to apply it; the objects and exes for VAX VMS are there
   (built under VMS V5.5).  You'll need to re-build it for AXP VMS.

BTW, narnia.memst.edu is 141.225.1.24 for any of you having nameserver
trouble.  There have also been some general internet problems today in
our locale, so, if you had trouble earlier, you might try again.
