I'm using the precompiled version from draco's website. But if anyone is
willing to mail me a compiled version with -DFLOPPY_ROUTINES I'll be happy
to test it on my system. I have not yet learnt how to get the sources
using cvs, and how to compile these with gcc. And I have understood
compiling will take a while even on a Falcon030/CT2b. I don't own a faster
system (yet). I hope someone can help me.
