I recently built Interviews 3.1 for FreeBSD and the patches should
work without changes on 386BSD or NetBSD. Everything seems to be
working fine (i.e., I've built several Interviews programs I use in
my research which work fine, and none of the standard programs crashed
when I ran them), but I haven't had a chance to thoroughly test
everything out yet. If you would like patches, please send me e-mail.
BTW - The binaries for Interviews programs are huge. Does anyone know
if shared libraries are going to be available any time soon for
FreeBSD? What's the latest word?
Thanks,
Kevin
