I tried running the linux version with linux-emu and for some reason or other it didn't work...oh, I think I remember. If I remember right, the version I was trying to use wanted some ELF libs I didn't have.

You need to change the various directories to point at the right things (TeX in particular) and change the -lforms to -lxforms. I also had to copy forms.h from the xforms port to that directory because for some reason the compiler couldn't find it when making the port. Someone with half a clue could probably fix this, I'm rather lame at doing this sort of stuff. But once you get it working, it works great! Good luck, Brian
