- I would suggest that you get your UTS system upgraded to UTS 2.1.3. UTS 5.2
- is very old now and somewhat weird. I've not tried to port 4.035 to our UTS
- 2.1.3 system yet but 4.019 went straight on and passed all tests within a
- couple of hours. There is a couple of nasties to look out for (ftell/fseek
- use off_t [==long long on UTS] rather than long's and st_size has an unusual
- type that must be taken care of) but nothing seriously broken.
