Hello Hunter,

	Sorry for the late reply.. Sure, autoconf is most likely the
answer and a package like current shouldn't require too much work to work
under autoconf, (minimally, at least). I'll try to see what I can do about
this..

Will do.

	I also have an improved startup script for Solaris 8, should I
sent it to the maintainer? I'd provide a REAME file for anyone who wishes
to walk down the same path than I did... Should I keep sending this to the
list or directly to the maintainer? (I'm new to this list, sorry about the
dumb question).
