Ollivier,
Thanks for telling me libmd.so & libcompat.so were obsolete, it helped :-)
Your 2nd guess was right: some of my binaries from a previous 2.something
release (stamp is Nov 15 1995) were not overlayed by an over-the-local-net
install, because of a problem with _collate_range_cmp & locale.h, on my
current box, which prevented these compiling:
csh sh awk grep sort tar fetch strfile
so I'm doing a make world.
Julian
