Rim and help DB

[Kenji Okamoto]

Several weeks ago, I saw a message relating Rim and GRASS4.0.

I have also some problems on this relation.
I installed GRASS4.0 and Rim to my SVR4/386 system.  Rim is compiled
using f2c.

When I aimed to install help database on Rim, I cannot get any
success.  On the screen, the rimh show long lists of commands which
should be included in the help database, but the relation name of
"HELP_FILE" is corrupted to "^@ELP_FILE." Furthermore, the varable
length text are not read into rim_help.rimdb2.  This means I cannot
use help commands within rim session.  However, the other function of
Rim is running without any problems.  Therefore, I have been very
doubt to install Rim interface to GRASS4.0.   

Today, at last, I have installed the Rim interface on my GRASS4.0
system.  How surprisingly, it works!!!  This means the librim.a is OK,
but it does not work for help detabase.  Do antone have any idea on
this problem? Some problem on the routines in pilib.f, rmxdel.f, rmxget.f,
 rmxlod.f, rmxput.f, or rim_help.data file ? 

Thanks in advance,

Kenji
