        Richard Jackson said it best and first:

> Due to Y2K issues, you should install Elm 2.5.3 instead. Visit
> ftp://ftp.virginia.edu/pub/elm and download and install elm2.5.3.tar.gz.

        Thanks Richard, I appreciate your accuracy and succintness.

        Thanks also to Stephen Dowdy,

        Paul A. Sand responded with:

> Version 2.5.* is at ftp://ftp.virginia.edu/pub/elm.
> When compiling 2.5.2 on my 4.0F system, I don't experience

> I don't have it yet.)

> 2.4 is kind of old; I seem to have a hazy memory of this kind

        Merlin Wilkerson's response:

> There's been some work done on elm including include file dependencies.
> Version 2.5.3 was released less than a week ago. 2.5.2 compiled straight
> up on 4.0F.
>
> The current version of elm can be found at ftp.virginia.edu in /pub/elm

        And finally Sean O'Connell

> I would recommed that you go with the latest and greatest (?) version

> It should have numerous fixes and such since elm-2.4 (vintage 198?)
