First, I suggest you upgrade to version 1.0.4. I gather 1.0.3 has a bug
in it.

Second, I got it to compile under AIX 3.2.5. I doubt there is something
iun the older version that is no longer there.

Third, what compiler did you use? I suggest you use the AIX C cc
compiler. I had some problems with gcc although it compiled.

Cheers, Brian.
