What sort ao Apple is it - an IBMPPC or an Intel?  For the former we
have a binary version that works much better than the GNU compiler
output does.  We will soon have an Intel binary as well using the good
Intel compiler.

That said, UVCON has many complicated inputs and there are hundreds of
ways to get the whole thing wrong and I suspect that UVCON does not
defend itself well.  Our expert on UVCON is in Russia for a couple of
weeks and I am of little use.  Do send us the inputs to the task.

Is there a linux box (e.g. Katherine's ceardach) on which you could
test things?
