   Hi! mark,   
      
   On 21 Mar 19 06:54, you wrote to me:   
      
    PQ>> Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS) can't find its "configure".  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.
