You can see the source of one of these programs at
http://members.rogers.com/mike.jeays/lst.c

It is not minimal, but it is all in one file, and it does compile
correctly under FreeBSD 4.1 on another machine, simply by issuing xmkmf
against the Imake file above, followed by "make".

If this is too complex for you to bother with, please let me know, and I
will make a minimal version.

I very much appreciate your offer of help - thanks.
