CfV [Call for Volunteer(s)] -- internal BayLISA stuff

David,

I can help you get it up and going. You say it has the gcc 2.95.2 compiler, 
and presumably that's from the Companion CD, loaded in /opt/sfw.

I don't have a SPARC machine at home, but do have a Solaris x86 system 
running Solaris 8 02/02 with the latest Companion CD on it.

Since I work at Sun I can get the Forte compiler also if that would be 
needed, but the gcc compiler might be ok.

I don't use sendmail typically, and run exim, so I'll rely on your for that 
piece of the puzzle, if you want/need my help.
