Feb. 5th, 2000: recent versions of GNU mkdir no longer accept multiple pathname arguments. This causes a problem with the "make install" process of ivtools. Here is a patch that fixes this for ivtools-0.8 or earlier.
Jan. 18th, 2000: Recent versions of w3c require a -q on the command line to work as an import plugin for the ivtools drawing editors. If you are having trouble retrieving graphic files by URL, and you have w3c in your path, edit line 1304 of ivtools-0.7/src/OverlayUnidraw/ovimport.c to look like this and recompile: sprintf(buffer,"w3c -q %s", path);
