Zinf command line

[Janina Sajka]

I first tried installing zinf from rpm. When that failed, I tried compiling, but got the same error on execution. It's a
very long compile--somewhere around 30 minutes on my 750mHz Thinkpad. I forget the exact error because it's been over a
week, but it had to do with library versions, as I recall.

This is on a Red Hat Null with all the updates as of last week.
