- :) Just out of curiosity, why not get your sysadmin to put the appropriate

- I know at uiuc, most (read all :) of the admins like to not have anything
- like that in a joe-user's directory, nor do they simply want to copy a
- compiled program, meaning they have to compile it themself. However,
- they don't want to be bothered with finding the source code. Usually
- here a person (in this case) would have to find the source code, set it
- up in /tmp, and ask *very* nicely. :)
