.. to V2.0.1 (from V1.1)...

	It took seven hours - not bad.  Almost everything works (yay!).

	One bug:  tail craps out on large files.  I mean *really*
craps out - the output is essentially "cat".  (By large I mean 54MB,
a "tail -1 the_big_file" just starts cat-ing from the top of file onto
the screen... ugh - there MIGHT be an error printed at the top...)
Smaller files (3.5MB) do just fine...  [The file is the monthly access
hits from httpd --- so next month I'll be able to narrow down just
when a file becomes "too big".]

	One huge question:  OK - I had tried in vain to get a working
version of workman under V1.1...  I was told by several people that
they could get it working under V2.X.  Now I have V2.X, I grab workman
from ftp.bsdi.com, I try running it, and "no CD found by libcdrom"...

	Hello???   What's the cleanup that needs to be done?
Does anyone have this working?  If so, could you *please* toss me
a line to a working copy (or working libraries if that's the problem).
I haven't checked to see what version the XView library is under V2.0.1,
I'm *assuming* that it's fresh enough (yeah, yeah, mistake #2), and I
remember from my earlier attempts that there's code missing in libcdrom,
but again I figured that this was all sorted out by now...

Cheers, Bob
