On this version I got the following comment
(09 Dec 1996, by Stefan Monnier <monnier-stefan@CS.YALE.EDU>):

To get it to compile on AIX and Solaris, I've had to hack a bit of the code.
The only serious problem being the handling of file termination (the original
source code uses the length of the file and ftell or EOF characters, which are
both fairly msdos-specific, so I changed it to use getc's return value to
detect end of file).
Also the underlining doesn't quite work (the words do get underlined, but any
underlined sequence of text cannot span more than a line. So I manually
replaced "\Underline{" by "{\bf " in the document. Apart
from that, it worked great.
I can mail you some set of patches also.
