Thot, Lesstif, and html2thot

I just compiled Thot 2.0 with Lesstif 0.77. It works relatively well at
first sight except that the bottom scrollbar is misplaced (it appears in the
middle of the document close to the top) and the side scrollbar ends at the
misplaced bottom scrollbar. I am convinced that within a couple of Lesstif
release or with a few workarounds in thot, you wont need to buy Motif
to recompile thot!

Browsing the Thot web page today i noticed version 2.1. I did not find any
"updated" documentation though. Is this the version with a more
sophisticated "import" mechanism and a built-in Java interpreter?

Finally, i noticed in amaya the file html2thot.c. It claims that by
compiling html2thot.c as "STANDALONE" you could obtain a "batch" converter
from .html to .PIV. I could not find a make "target" for it and trying
to compile by "hand" seems to indicate that it cannot any longer be
compiled as "STANDALONE". Any hints on this? Thanks.
