I had to tweak nc.c, shell.c, nedit.h. In shell.c had to be moved to just above . In nc.c and nedit.h I had to define MAXPATHLENTH=256 and SYS_NMLN = 9. In util directory, fileUtils.c, getfiles.c, prefFile.c, printUtils.c had to include #define MAXPATHLEN 256. Also the Makefile.common calls ar with args "urs" , but "s" is not a legal arg for cray's ar. So I just took it out. Osman Buyukisik
