Yes, Solaris 8 is equivalent to SunOS 5.8, and if it matters, I'm running
the 64 bit kernel.

I just tried GNU make, and it deals with the error and continues to perform
the installation.   If you fix the for loop in the refman Makefile that
might solve the problem.

I'll let you know how well this release works with 5.8.

Oddly this bug doesn't lead to a fatal error with GNU make on Linux.
Where the Makefile says "for d in 1 5 8" it should say "for d in 1 8".
It looks like there will have to be a 1.44 release.  :-(

They have been moved to docs/uprint.

Good.  I will add them to the list.  Is Solaris 8 SunOS 5.8?
