I compiled it after reading all the instructions.  I used the echo in bash 
by editing the Makefile SHELL=/bin/bash.  I did make test and it passed 
the test.   Are we using the same version?

What version did you use?  How would changing the name from e3 to e3pi 
make it give you a different help screen?  I will try doing this in BL1.

Because I am trying everything you ask me to try to get the 2-floppy
disk thing working and it would not take you long.  Just untar it in /tmp 
and type e3pi and see if it works there.  Maybe you already had tail on 
your computer?  It is from txtutils.  BL1 may have had tail already - if 
so I overwrote it when I installed my package.  Don't just change e3 to 
e3pi, use the e3pi that I sent.

Do you mean you type e3vi and it uses the e3vi that was compiled, or you 
rename e3 to e3vi?
