I collected all the relevant part and recompiled it. Anyone who is interested, I put it in uunet in ~/tmp/ygmake.zip. Hope it will help. Most of the people who obtained it are happy. Some reported problems. I noticed that you should be very careful with the syntax. In some cases, of syntax errors, it dies with no warnings. Please let me know the results. I appreciate if somebody can find a "home" to it and let the community know. - Yigal Yigal Hochberg yigal AT unifi DOT com Unifi Communications Corp.
