Send me the patches, and I'll get them checked in.  As for the binary, until 
someone at Compaq sends us a box to run it on, we won't be able to do much 
with it.

Yep, I get a lot of warnings there too.  I believe Shaw's current plan is to 
replace that functionality with a cleaner implementation, rather than trying 
to fix them in place.  
As for whether it's working, I just tried that document on NT and got the 
same message, so something must have broken recently.

Yes.

Thanks.  Hope you don't mind that we linked to your post from the build 
instructions on the website.  ;-)
