Roger, If your linux box is networked, you can browse the code remotely in your house from a windoze box and avoid the extra purchase.

I searched around on the web last night and found something about these m5i20 problems being corrected in the development version. I assume that is going to be the 2.2 release? Anyway, I'm going to have to get another PC to run Linux on so I can snoop around in the source (from the confort of the house) and see what I can learn. It's difficult to stand at the machine and try to study! Thanks very much for working on this!
