 Somehow this readme has never been written or been uploaded.  Try
"Xdaniver --help" for options and parameters.

 /bin/sh has no such features.  Use "set -o emacs" to enable command line
editing and history functions though.

 Try out gateway/usr/local/bin/tcsh for the features you are looking for.

 No idea.

 chmod +x scriptname

 Xdm was not fully supported during the creation of the Gateway!  Vol.  2.
Xdm is some sort of login-screen using X11.  Man pages for xdm should have
been included in the X11R6 distribution.  I cannot check right now.

 mount /dev/fd0a /mnt/floppy  (read-only, Amiga-formatted disks)

 Interesting, I mostly was unable to generate archives but was easily able
to extract.  Have you checked whether your archives are lha-2 compliant?
