Re: help with first Swarm app

Dear Alex and Everybody:

I was very surprised when I saw this note implying that there is a
programming difference between working with the binary and the archive.
Was that well known?  How could I miss something like that (don't
answer, that's a rhetorical question).

The only difference is that people who use the binary version don't
all the includes that archive users do?

If so, it seems vital that we start telling people who put things in
anarchy (or any ftp site, actually) to put a readme  file or  at least
comments in the makefile to tell people whether they
compiled against the binary or archive.
