Yes, that's absolutely correct.

As well as that, some of the INSTALL docs are contradictory. The one
included in the huskybase module states something to the effect that once
smapi and fidoconf have been compiled, it's simply a matter of un-tarring
each of the other required modules into the base husky directory, then
changing to the module directory and compiling the module from there. In
the case of hpt, that's not true, one has to change to the "make"
directory otherwise it won't compile. *That* information is contained in
the INSTALL doc for hpt. Incidentally, hpt won't compile on my system if I
use huskymak.cfg but it will compile if I use the legacy makefile. Talk
about confusing!?

Martin
