Could one ask: what error and where in jsLinuxOld.cxx? 8-)

It's actually worse than March, my first version was from February! 8-(

Yes, long, long awaited!

Olivier's new JS code works great on my systems (both Mac os X and 
Cygwin on win2k), fixing an OFTEN ENCOUNTERED bus error problem on mac 
os x, and getting hats and other things to work on both systems.

My version came from Olivier A.'s web site:   
<http://perso.wanadoo.fr/oliver77-htm/plib/liste.htm>. The site is 
still active as of 11:00 GMT Thursday.

This is the directory listing that I've got on my systems:

-rw-r--r--  1 ima  staff   7291  9 May 06:54 jsWindows.cxx

Thank you Olivier, wherever you are, and thank you whoever actually 
both has the authority to add this new js code and is willing to do so!

(And thanks John for reminding us all that this great js code isn't in 
yet.)
