It's been several years since I tried to build DDD.  I was able to build=20
it, but there were a number of issues.

Unfortunately, DDD has not been maintained for a long time.  It is based=20
on old Modif libraries which are outdated.  It has not been updated to=20
conform to compiler changes.    The last release is 3.3.12.
