I see that, but AFAIK, we don't have the c compiler ported to 
linux/toolshed. I will dsave that whole thing to my hd and see if my 
compiler still runs.

The makefile is for os9/68000, and it needs TERMCAP.  I wonder if the 
dynastar version of termset would work says he to no one in particular.

Can someone explain to me what "TERMCAP" was defined as all those years 
ago?

Thanks.
