About ddd: The ddd you are trying to use is an old one which has been replaced by the 'ddd' (not ddd-smotif or ddd-dmotif) package. The new one is in slink (I think) and relies on the lesstif package (instead of motif). -- Ed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
