         As requested by Steve Malone, here are our comments on Chris
    Wood's POSIX compliant version of earthworm.

         We applaud Chris Wood and the USBR for their work in putting
    together a POSIX compliant version of earthworm and fixing some bugs
    that they discovered in the process.  We don't have any immediate need
    for this new version of earthworm at the University of Utah, because
    we use Solaris as our main operating system.  Nevertheless, we encourage
    the earthworm team to consider adopting the POSIX compliant version of
    earthworm as the basis for future releases.  The reduced platform
    dependence of the POSIX compliant earthworm code would increase the
    number of potential earthworm users and allow all users the flexibility
    to choose different operating systems in the future.  And certainly,
    any bug fixes are valuable contributions which should be incorporated
    into future official versions of earthworm--whether or not the
    earthworm team decides to make these versions POSIX compliant.
