Actually, my version of the documentation I read didn't specify ls or
dir, just to check that the file unzipped was /include/sys/sysmacros.h,
and that if you found sysmacro.h your unzip program didn't support long
filenames. (the docs for v2.03).  But running ls yielded something with
tilde's absent the ntlfn app.  Bottom line - it works. and I'm happy.

My compliments to you on your compiler.  You get my vote for most
compliant -- the one that can take anything I've tried out of Stroustrup
--and it works.

Thanks for the help.
