Thanks for the nice intro...  Ironically, the large systems I was admining
and doing a tiny bit of development on at Jones Intercable was as a 
subcontractor for Sun, on lots of large Sun 2000 and UltraSparc boxes...

No, and thanks for no digs on me never getting around to a lot of the
things I wanted to... (grin)

There is currently _no_ support for V6 options in the exiting opcodes,
and the V6 only opcodes aren't implemented yet.  Whee!  In other words,
we need to print a copy of the spec, ihghlight every occurence of
"... in V6, this happens..." and make it so.

Yep.

I need to fix the makefiles.  I'll update the makes for 
termcap UNIX, curses, and dumbio to build from the appropriate frontend 
directory.  In the meantime, copy everything from the frontend dir to the 
interpreter dir, edit the Makefile if necessary, and type make.  (UNIX)

In VC, it is not necessary to move source.  Do "file->new" and pick add new
Windows console app (eventually it will be just windows app).  Assuming
everything is under D:\Jzip, set the dir to D:\jzip\win32\ and the project 
name to dumbio.  Then tell VC to create an empty project.  Add the source to
the project by right clicking on the "Source files" folder in the
workspace (under the "Fileview" tab)  Select all the .c files in the 
interpreter dir except jzexe.c and ckifzs.c and select the file in the
dumbio dir. 

While the root node of the dumbio tree is selected in workspace, go to
project settings.  Click on the C/C++ tab.  In the Category dropdown,
Select "preprocessor" and add "LOUSY_RANDOM" to the "Preprocessor Definitions"
edit box.  Under the "Link" tab, change the executable name to "jzip.exe".
Then hit F7 to build.  That should do it!

(Note:  we make want to check in a set of VC .dsp project files into a win32
tree to avoid this silliness - although VC 5 might not like VC6 project files.
