There are 3 files: noname-1.05p2.README README file -- he explains the new name. LyriX-1.05p2_src.tar.gz full sources. This requires Motif to compile (Motif isn't free). noname-1.05p2.tar.gz statically compiled version, ready to run. If you want to get the stically compiled version, you have to download all three files (you need some stuff fromt he sources to get it to work). At least for me, I have always had to have the file noname.sty in any directory I was working in, in order to get this to work. ========================================================================== Chuck Robey chuckr@eng.umd.edu, I run FreeBSD-current on n3lxx + Journey2 Three Accounts for the Super-users in the sky, Seven for the Operators in their halls of fame, Nine for Ordinary Users doomed to crie, One for the Illegal Cracker with his evil game In the Domains of Internet where the data lie.
