Yeah, I know! And my backup file is 2000 miles away. (my fault!)

I don't know. I ran

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous at opencircuitdesign.com:/usr/cvsroot checkout 
xcircuit-3.6

complied, make install, and xcircuit --version.

Maybe I goofed and was in the wrong directory. I have a tgz of .83....

Um, maybe I'm dense - but which file should I be changing? I ran "grep 
-n fontfile ./*.c and didn't get any results with a line number  that 
are close to 4854.
