Thanks to Ken Teh, we seem to have a working version of xspread 3.1.1.
My original problem was "make" failing with error messages concerning
bcopy. Ken's suggestion (for version 2.1, ie the one on the mit archive):

I had a look at the the xspread2.1 sources (same version, I hope). Your
problem is in sc.h in the following lines

#if defined(BSD42) || defined(BSD43) && !defined(ultrix)
#define memcpy(dest, source, len) bcopy(source, dest, (unsigned int)len);
#define memset(dest, zero, len) bzero((dest), (unsigned int)(len));
#else
#include <memory.h>
#endif

If you still have problems, replace the above lines in sc.h with the
following line:

#include <memory.h>

[end quote]





...this worked for 3.1.1 also, though the syntax is slightly different in
the sc.h file. here is what i now have:

#ifndef SYSV
#include <memory.h>
#endif

... also found it necessary to comment out the following lines:

/*extern long time();*/
/*extern int tolower();*/
/*extern int toupper();*/

for reasons I don't understand. Not sure if this affects the working of
the program.
