I have some other (newer?) version of acme.c, so I guessed the lines to correct/add. However, after 3-1 on a dir, acme died with the following:
 
acme: text.load couldn't find destination for message
acme 1233: suicide: sys: trap: fault read addr =....
 
I would be grateful for a whole acme tarball. The idea sounds great -- I don't feel I need 3-1 just for no-op

thanks,
