- I noticed this as well, but thought I must have screwed up when I pulled
- the files off ftp-os2.nmsu.edu. I did the same thing you did, and simply
- restored the 2.1 versions, which are complete. I think this is what
- caused another poster to complain of an "abnormal program termination"
- message. After the substitution, the sample programs compiled without
- a hitch.

- You're further ahead here than I am -- I can't get groff working at all,
- possibly because I'm having problems with less. Although the archive
- integrity seems OK, when invoked, less hangs the machine (this is less177.)
