Hello Claus,
I sent you a bug report about ftape a few weeks ago, you replied to
the effect that I was using a very old version and should update to
4.02. I am using Red Hat 5.2 which ships with ftape 2.08.
Thank you for your advice, which I followed of course. But still I am
unable to use ftape. Here are two problems, one with ftape, one with
the documentation. I am sending these reports in case the problems
are bugs and you do not know about them. However, if you are able to
tell me how to solve the problems, I shall appreciate it.
I have not done anything to remove ftape 2.08.
I look forward to some advice in the future, in the meantime, Merry
Christmas!

* Documentation
I am unable to run configure to completion, it always hangs as
indicated.

* Ftape
Ftape appears to compile successfully using make. But installation is
not successful. The complete output from make and make install is
attached, however the failure is these unresolved symbols messages.
