I'm more of an intermediate C hacker. Digging in autoconf files sounds less fun than playing with APE. > (Why do all this work when Linux is free?) I didn't really want to, but I finally installed a Linux distro in a virtual machine. To answer your question, not having this distro would have reduced my administrative overhead and freed up some hardware resources. I'll live. I know the tone of my message has been somewhat negative, but I do appreciate your responses. Thanks again, Wes.
