The binary in the package is an Alpha binary not a VAX one - sorry for not
making that clear. I haven't got round to packaging the VAX one yet. I did
build it for VAX and then the disk drive on my VAX died so I don't have it any
more!

You can either build it yourself from source or wait a couple of days and I'll
geta VAX binary uploaded.

To build it from source you'll need a C compiler and MMS or MMK (mmk is
freeware), just unpack the sources and type

$ MMK/IGNORE=WARNINGS
