I think you'll find that the version of menu in hamm predates egcs being the
default c++ compiler for anywhere but alpha---or at least was specifically
compiled with g++ 2.7.2---and that there's a version in slink that corrects
the problems by inserting appropriate casts and/or member functions since
someone found it didn't recompile with the default c++ compiler on the Intel
any more.
Another package that I think ought to be copied from slink to hamm...
Mike.
