People should ask Michael Zuker for his newer unix version of 
Mulfold, for one thing.

The ZP.OLB binary is needed only for the energy dotplot display
(it is an old Tek library, i beleive).  You can edit the source to
remove calls to energy dotplot and then compile.  I don't think
you will have any luck tracking down a newer version of that
binary.
