John Sadler is not a Unix user, and has no experience with Unix, and doesn't have one, as a matter of fact. All that's there on sourceforge was produced using tools under Windows, and he is making an effort to make things available for us poor Unix users, but he can't test them, and he doesn't even know exactly what we want. If you know exactly how to produce a .tar.gz under Windows that is suitable for our use, I'm sure he would appreciate the help. > Ugh! I wasn't aware of this, and I can guarantee this will be fixed.
