I hate it when        PQ>> they do that.               ml> not all programs need a configure... why do you think this one needs        ml> one?              There's a text file/script in the tarball called 'configure'. Go figure.              Add to that, the initial link to Sourceforge that I found came from a Google       search that provided a link to some chatterer webforum, where a whiz       proclaimed that he 'found the tarball, un-gzipped it, ran configure & make'       and he had a new uncle Bob.              Why couldn't I? Also? ;)              Cheers,       Paul.              ...
