- Try renaming niftyterm to fterm, or as I have done, write a little script called
- fterm that calls niftyterm. You have no need to use fterm anymore, so you just
- replace it totally.

- BTW I have the dnet 2.20 distribution, but I'm not sure that it contained the
- compiled binaries, and I keep getting gurus while compiling :( so where can I
- obtain the 2.20 binaries??
