:package seemed to decompress, and it wrote a bunch of files, including
:bin/mtools
:bin/mkmanifest
:bin/mcheck
:bin/mxtar
:bin/xcopy
:and bin/mcomp
:as well as some stuff in man/man1.  But when I try an mtools command,
:like mread or mwirte, I get "Command not found".

	Probably the stupid CSH rehash problem.

	try "rehash" and then try again.

	Or switch to the Korn/Bash shell.
