I've worked at the 3-17 release of ftape-tools and resolved the
problems!
The first problem I detected was that the doc/etc directory was nt
provided with a Makefile.in
Using automake, I was able to get past this problem.
The next thing was that _all_ of the Makefile's in the doc tree had
SHELL=@SHELL@ rather than SHELL=/bin/sh
After fixing thin in the vrious subdirectories of doc, the tools made
succesfully.
Now I can try to format a tape!!
