And if you want source, I remember in the list-archives a mail from someone who had ported sam to Win; they might be willing to pass it on. (and speaking of source, even if someone gets the Win32.exe, they should also get sam.shar because that includes a troff -ms encoded tutorial on using sam, something that is sorely needed, especially as the PDF of the 1987 paper doesn't print back-ticks (') so the one big example of changing 'n' to 'num' reads incorrectly) - kim
