Chuck is there any chance you could tgz up the "lot" , and put it on your 
webpage ?

I snipped the makefile & the rdxp.c from this post , but is getting 
errors making rdxp

make rdxp
cc rdxp.c -O -lgpib  -o rdxp
rdxp.c: In function ‘onintrterm’:
rdxp.c:61: error: ‘termcount’ undeclared (first use in this function)
rdxp.c:61: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
rdxp.c:61: error: for each function it appears in.)
rdxp.c: In function ‘main’:
rdxp.c:111: error: ‘discard’ undeclared (first use in this function)
rdxp.c:111: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘possible’
make: *** [rdxp] Error 1

I just bought a Racal 1991 on the auctionsite , and is preparing for the 
arrival.

I have a National PCI GPIB card , but is considering the ether-gpib 
bridge ... Cant remember the name ...
As i then can run measurements of my 24/7 (on) email-server 

I'm Ubuntu based.
