I failed to mention a couple of things about the binary distribution of
GRASS 4.0 I uploaded yesterday. Here they follow:
1) the tar file has been packed with GNU tar. It can be untarred
with ISC tar (old and buggy) but the fifos in /dev will not be
extracted unless you use gnutar.
2) the shell script grass4.0 has been slightly hacked to get it
working with tcsh instead of csh. I recommend tcsh for the much
greater ease of use. It is available in executable form by ftp
on nic.funet.fi in /pub/unix/386ix/ics/shells. Email me if you
want an email copy.
Someone reported problems with the Xdriver on a SLIP connection. I am
trying to compile a new Xdriver. The distribution of X386 which I use
requires TCP/IP to work, so it is possible that there are delays on
slow lines since applications connect to the server via TCP sockets.
Excuse me for the inconvenience. Sincerely, Ferdinando.

(2) The shell script for 4.1beta is more intellegent about the
users normal SHELL and will support tcsh (may ksh as well).
