Okay, I found searched out the missing tarball 
on google.com.

Then I ran this, again...

# sh -x list2fetch.sh

...getting the return of prompt without sign of error.

So I ran 'make' and the machine started chugging happily 
away for something over a couple of hours...until it 
stopped, suddenly, and filled the whole screen with...

Stop
  Error code 1
*******
Stop
  Error code 1

...and so forth. That's not exactly verbatim, as the 
output did not save to a file which I could put onto a 
floppy for transport to the Win2K machine I am 
emailing from.

Please, who can tell me what that means? And more 
importantly, what I might do about it?

Thanks,

Gan
