This is what Amancio's been telling me about. Seems like it wants
to muck around with stdio and the like. Unfortunately, my connection
to time.cdrom.com is border on non-interactive because of the link
speed. Not sure how much I can help out from my end (not having the
Motif libs to finish a build)... :(

Yep. Amazing how much faster it runs on a machine with proper
graphics hardware. :) I really, really want to see this ported to
FreeBSD. We should probably look at the rest of the U of Mn Geometry
Center software too. They've got some neat stuff there.
Anyone up for porting MetaCard now? :)
