I am experiencing problems (brick wall!) trying to get Elm 2.3 to 
"make" under Xenix 286 (new version, purchased only three months ago).
I am getting the stack overflow problem at the end of doing "sh Configure", 
but applying the fix described in an attached email msg to increase the 
stack space in sh makes no difference. I have even added extra memory to 
the computer (an Epson PC-AX2, alias Equity II) to no avail.
I am aware that there are several patches (six??) available for elm 2.3;
as getting ftp stuff is difficult for me (have to go via bitftp and wait), 
are any of these known to address this problem.
Bill Campbell (uunet!camco!bill) has been kind enough to send me the xenix 
fixes necessary to make smail and deliver work so it's just elm that is 
holding me up!
Warning - unix neophyte here; all replies should consist of words of one

Bezerkley).
Thanks

P.S. I would also like to "make" this on an Altos 2086 with older xenix.
