Hello,
	I have a HP300 which is running HP-UX5.2 on which I would
like to run Net2. I have two HP7958 170M drives one with HP-UX and
one with the Net2 source.  Note that 5.2 is SysV pre-NFS, cc is pre-ANSI,
and we have had no luck compiling gcc (even 1.4.2).

	I would like some assistance in creating a bootable disk. I have
had no luck compiling 'make' so I can't format the man pages and 
documents provided.

	We have a third disk and a cartridge tape available if necessary.

	Can anyone help me with this; has anyone done this? I assume
that Net2 is complete for the HP300s.  We cannot afford the ~3500 Cdn
for 4.4BSD. Are there any other groups which deal with Net2?

	This seems like asking for instructions on making rice paper
from a bag of rice.

	Thank you for any assistance.
	Matthew
