This just drives me nuts:
time.cdrom.com% ls -l ~/bin
total 7600

All three are very nice programs but having to link in that Motif
library sort of puts a damper on things. I wish those authors would
use something like Tk instead for their interface library. BTW, I
linked them with:
cc -o blah foo.o bar.o ... -Xlinker -Bstatic -lXm -Xlinker -Bdynamic
-lX11 -lXt ...
Correct?
On the bright side, the 2.0 libs on time.cdrom.com seemed to have
fixed the segfaulting the old Motif was having! Should I go ahead and
create packages of these programs despite their size?
