Hello

I downloaded this, and saw one executable file in the httpd
directory.

I tried to run it, and saw ...

address@hidden ~/s/c/httpd> ./colono.fs 
redefined accept  ar: `u' modifier ignored since `D' is the default
(see `U')

in file included from *OS command line*:-1
colono.fs:29: error 3305

Am I doing something wrong?

An enclosed README file for the project would be useful to others?
