Hello bsd'ers,

   I've been trying for a few days now to get libcompat.  I have the etc
distribution, but it won't compile, and I can't find the binary anywhere.
I suspect that this must be a FAQ, but I couldn't find it in any of the
FAQ lists (actually, the FAQ that should contain this appears to be
truncated on hrd769.brooks.af.mil).  I've also checked the bsdnews server
and, although libcompat is mentioned frequently, there's no actual info
on how to get it.  Any help would be much apreciated.

                            Thanks,
                                    Ami Ganguli.
