    Joop,

    But not instructions: they are only on the web site, and even there they
    are old and do not fit the software... took me an hour to see I had to run
    that script. How about a simple readme that mentions this? These are the
    very basics of software!

    I must mention, I downloaded the tar.gz, not the rpm: I run a too-modern
    RedHat for that. Alas, there is no standard "./configure, make, make
    install", and the bbs when it does come up is mysterious, needs obscure
    text files edited, and displays Toulouse stuff by default...

    But the readme urges users to not make changes on their own. Surely that's
    not GPL?

    I would say, because there appears to be nothing else.

    Ah, that's why I am asking here.
