    Sorry; 'Woody' was actually v3...

    Depends on the version... As you many not be aware; Debian Woody (v3) was    
   released in 2002 (and later superceded in 2005) and therefore uses the older    
   versions of the standard C libraries. Which, IIRC, was the issue with running    
   IRex on Linux systems...

    Not surprisingly, but I'd like to have it running again; both for the    
   capabilities my systems don't currently have and as a reference point for    
   those capabilities.
