[R] Thanks for help on EMMIX

[Marc R. Feldesman]

Thanks to John Day, Tom Richards, Mike Prager, Thomas Lumley, and Goran 
Brostrom, for various helpful suggestions that finally allowed me to get 
EMMIX compiled on my Linux (and my Windows) machines.

The problem was a simple case-sensitivity issue concerning a single file, 
which I had correctly downloaded but named using the wrong case 
("emmix.max" instead of "EMMIX.max").  Both g77 (under MinG 2.0) and f77 
(under RH Linux 7.3) compile the program without problem.  I did discover 
an ancillary problem that took a bit of effort to sort out.  Under Windows 
XP, WinEdt does not capture the EMMIX.f (or EMMIX.max) source files in a 
standard ASCII text file format that g77 could use properly.  Once I saved 
the file using Notepad (making no changes to the files), the compilation 
went without a hitch.  I'm investigating to see what WinEdt does to the 
file that causes g77 to choke on it.
