It's 32-bit. I am using it on a 64-bit IRIX, though. It just was easier
that way.

Looking into my archive, I think I started it about Sept 9th, about 50-60
hours. Though I hope that my documentation will reduce that drastically
for similar efforts.

If you undust your Indy, could you try to compile it on Linux? After all,
I am running IRIX on my machines, and my gcc uses SGI's assembler, linker
and all.
