- The problem with power appears to be that the power file is present but
- empty. Perhaps the stdio library acts somewhat differently under Linux.
- I will look into this problem further starting next month, but for now I
- just wanted to get something usable uploaded.
-
- I mentioned this in the README.linux file, I believe. The solution is
- to run a "power n" to generate a new power file; after that power works fine.
-
- My full address is kevin@cyber.net. We have been having some problems
- with our connection to CERFnet over the last week or so; I know it used
- to work fine. Have you gotten any mail from me, Tim?
