No. No!! No!!! Aaaargh no!! I've never worked on the source of XRT.
I tried using it (and found it didn't work). I wrote a minimal SUN,
based on what I thought the applications should do, discussions with
Vito etc. I've glanced at the code, but I've never supported it. I'm
in no way responsible for the source.

I don't have a copy of the XRT source (AFAIK), certainly not one which
contains fixes not available elsewhere.
I'll e-mail you a copy of the manual separately (to avoid cluttering this
list with attachments). I may well add a disclaimer to the effect that
`it wasnae me, Jimmy'. :-)
cheers,
Clive.
