I'm cc'ing wdc in case he finds this interesting; if not, it's delete
fodder.
I pulled the Andrew toolkit port to Linux off of sunsite and installed
it on quiche, our office Linux box. All the files are under
/usr/andrew. Conveniently, /usr/andrew/bin is already in athena_path.
The tar files are in /home/root. I'm not exactly sure what I
installed (that is, whether it includes source), but ez works.
ez does not work quite like we're used to on Athena, however. There's
no 'enable basic styles'; basic styles seem to be enabled by default.
I don't know what version I installed or how much the Athena version
of the atk differs from the standard.
Ideally, I should be able to find out what was necessary to do the
port and apply it to the Athena stuff in the nandrew locker. I'm not
sure if I really want to spend time on this, but it's interesting that
the Andrew port seems to work. I think the ATK will be valuble to,
say, houses with Linux clusters.
