 Hello, folks...

 That'd be me...  `scsh' is in "non-free" because of the licence.  You
 can download and install it under the terms of its original licence.
 I think Martin told me he's been told that it's OK for `scsh' to go
 on a CD-ROM, but it cannot go into Debian's main distribution because
 its licence doesn't totally conform to the DFSG.

 By the way, to the guy trying to compile under Red Hat & glibc:

 If you grab my source with the .diff.gz, you'll find that I've
 already solved your problems.  I believe I've forwarded the relevant
 patches upstream as well, so most likely they will appear in a future
 release in some form or another...; Provided anyone has time to work
 on scsh.  That 'might' be us. ;-)
