I would sincerely love to use a service like bitftp, but one of the college's
upstream sites (namely the University of Calgary) selectively filters out
mail to and from bitftp.  Nasty bit of censorship I think.  They do it to keep
their net-traffic load down.  (Which in my mind doesn't justify such
censorship; they could just as easily ask people to voluntarily refrain from
using it.  Most people would comply.)

But getting back on topic -- has any one with Esix Rev. D *successfully*
compiled g++?  BTW: success does not mean a clean compile.  I can get those. 
But the compiler will not compile libg++.  Which, of course, is a pre-req for
compiling groff (I am trying to compile g++ 1.37.2 and groff 0.6).
