Hi all,

pcb-rnd code base got some cleaning recenlty, which together with the 
earlier unglib, scconfig and ANSI C89 porting efforts resulted in that I 
managed to compile it on an old SGI Indy box running the original IRIX 
system - with absolutely no GNU installed.

There are still a few minor issues to fix but we are very near to compile 
out-of-the-box on such old UNIX systems (with the lesstif HID using motif, 
and with batch mode). All plugins compile, except for the gtk and the 
puller.

If you are still using your favorite SunOS or AIX or IRIX or whichever 
non-mainstream-Linux/BSD system and want to edit your PCBs on it, please 
contact me. (If you have a BSD and pcb-rnd doesn't work out-of-the-box, 
please file a bug report.)

Regards,

Igor2
