Art,

I have't provided IRIX binaries (other than the xpm libraries and at times
posting a decoder or 2 for a site that was having problems with their version
so that they could compare against what I have).

I can post a binary distribution of pl16 for you. That probably makes things 
a little more difficult to upgrade along the line. The other option is
to build on the Challenge and tar up the distribution. I use the -o32 flag
in the Makinc.irix configuration so that you should be able to use the
same binaries between Irix 5.x and Irix 6.x and for both IRIX and IRIX64.
All you would have to do is redefine the NAWIPS variable in the Gemenviron
file when you moved it to a new location.

Let me know if you want me to post a binary distribution for you.
