Hi Paul, hi Eric:

  Ja, I fixed the problem with the esps/ directory by copying
ESPS/general/h/ to /usr/local/include/esps/. Of course then I ran into
the problem with the xview sources. Those shouldn't be difficult to
obtain, but I haven't compiled or used Xviews since my Slackware days
with a 1.2.13 kernel (i.e., those "bad old days")... I don't really have
much time to pursue this project now, but I will return to it. If anyone
else manages to compile it I'm certainly interested in having a look at
xwaves itself.

Best regards,
