Actually I did try that.  After fixing a couple of complaints
("couldn't find a usable init.tcl in long list of directories" and
giving up, etc. comments along the lines of what next.  When I ran
sn(?, it's been a little while), I got back errors about couldn't
find this, couldn't find that, etc. - looked at the script file,
realized it was calling hyper to do the job and I called hyper
directly and then I got the "couldn't find usable init.tcl" etc.
errors.  I know that sn(?) was setting those for me, but I was
in frustration mode at the time.

I don't know how long this was going to go on, in frustration, I
went back and got gnu tar and then gnu make and compiled those.
Those now seem to work.  Here are the latest set of errors:

trgt (or target) is where this stuff is going.  I'm not sure what
"Error 1" refers to or where to go from here.
