So I got indent.2.2.9.tar.gz from gnu, opened it up, moved to the src subdir, ran bash, and entered "../configure". This ran for at least 1.5 hours (I went to bed) and ended up announcing something close to "can't create .lineno, use a POSIX shell". All this on my 486/80 machine. (I have been threatening to get another for several years) Don't laugh, it does just fine for most things. At any rate I am NOT about to make the port. I haven't the vaguest idea what that configure script is doing, except it appears to run sh and sed incessantly, with an occasional call to chmod. -- Chuck F (cbfalconer AT yahoo DOT com) (cbfalconer AT worldnet DOT att DOT net) Available for consulting/temporary embedded and systems.
