Please define the phrase "two named" files by enumerating the names.

Yes I will but I'd appreciate an enumerated definition of "the programs"
or a list of commands to run specifying which platform (Windows 2000 or
Solar 8 Intel) to use.

OK, I'm picking up the goal is run whatever on both Windows and UNIX to
make sure the generated results are identical.

File "mkconfig.pl" has changes that prevent is from running with PERL
implementation supplied with old MKS Tool Kit I have on Windows 2000.
Error output and MKS PERL version information follow at message end.

I can install a modern PERL binary release which will take some time
but I could report back results in a day or two.

What's you preference (1) fix "mkconfig.pl" to run with MKS PERL I have
or (2) install a modern PERL binary release?
