sps and SunOS 4.1

[Rob McMahon]

I'm really sorry for posting this here, but I've had a message from Chris
Metcalf <metcalf at kailasa> asking for a pointer to sps, with no sign of a
return address (except that kailasa is [18.111.0.209]).  I guess other people
may be prompted into looking for sps themselves anyway.

The trouble with sps is that it has no `version' information in it.  I don't
believe the `26 Nov 1986' in main.c has been updated for years.  The version I
have is the most recent I know of, and it's main distinguishing feature is
that it has support for sunos4 in it.  I believe I got it from the archives at
titan.rice.edu [128.42.1.30], under the directory sun-source.  I've just
checked and the date of the version there is Oct 88, which fits.  It has
Makefiles for BSD's 4.[123] and SunOS [234].?, so I would expect it to compile
under Ultrix with no problem.

Cheers,

Rob
