 | | static version of lnpd uploaded to arthudent

Because of several reports about compiling problems with lnpd, i made a static version and uploaded it to arthurdent. It's quite fat: 373942 bytes, compared to the dynamic, which is 21352, but we all have at least 512 Megs, don't we ? I guess it (...) (25 years ago, 9-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
