Good. I fetched *3.tar.bz2.
I think ftp files should always be broken into < 1.4M pieces.

Here's my log of 'trying' to get it to run like by 'old' {2001 version?}
of 1553:--

1. bunzip2 -c poplog1553.linux.libc5.nox.2.tar.bz2 | tar xvf -
== OK see populated directories created.

2. set up 'enviroment' copying existing version's scripts and run poplog
== OK seems to run

3. copy vedinit.p from RH6.2 instaltn to /usr/local/poplog/pop/pop 
   and re-start 
== OK now can do cursor arrows & own taylor-made keying 
  Test eg. : 8 + 5 => **13

4. help river 
==  loads and looks Ok

5. compile/run :    lib river
==  ;;; LOADING LIB river
 !! But does'nt run like RH6.2 version ??
== ;;; DECLARING VARIABLE foreach  
--> (msep: MISSING SEPARATOR (eg semicolon): foreach [)   

6. Try: teach foreach  ; mark-compile-run:---
    vars x list;
        [[a is big] [b is small] [c is big] [d is small]] -> list;
    foreach [?x is big] in list do
	            it=>
        [therefore ^x is heavy] =>
    endforeach;
== ;;; DECLARING VARIABLE foreach

 ?? apparently 'foreach' not seen as a reserved word ?? !!

What should I do ?
