Question about SLRN
Css Executive
answer a few questions. When I compiled SLRN I recieved 8
errors during linking. As far as I can tell the first 4 were due to
mouse support (we have none), but the rest are in the uudecode option
and I really have no idea why the errors are being generated. I've
included the compile session below in the hopes that someone else who's
compiled the reader recognizes the error and can help with the solution.
The newsreader works even with these errors (I'm using it now), but I
would like to have the full array of functions. Thanks for your help.

It looks like menu.obj is missing from the list of objects passed to the
link step. Simply add it to vmsmake.com. In addition, I do not know if the
slrn uudecode stuff has been ported to VMS. Unfortunately, I nolonger have
access to VMS so I am unable to test it under VMS. In fact, I rarely read
comp.os.vms so you might want to crosspost to new.software.readers.
Here is a new VMSMAKE.COM file:
