Hi James;

I think you'll have to build it, but I also think you should have no 
more than the usual "teething problems." 

It might be advisable to wait for a couple of further test versions 
before leaping, just because things are still moving fairly quickly 
around the cook pot. :-) There aren't many modules built in yet from 
what I've read, the test4.4 is supposed to be a lot more polished. The 
test revisions have been coming at a week apart. Or less. 

We shall see.

Tell ya what James, I'm gonna stuff a version of the latest 2.6 onto my 
kid's "hot rod" tomorrow and see what I can blow up. He's dual booting 
9.1 with X(treme)P(rejudice) and if I kill it I can always tell him he 
should run Windows anyway. That oughta tick him off. <g>

I'll let you know how big the boom was....

Charlie

        A manager was about to be fired, but a programmer who worked for him
invented a new program that became popular and sold well.  As a result, 
the manager retained his job.

        The manager tried to give the programmer a bonus, but the programmer
refused it, saying, "I wrote the program because I though it was an 
interesting concept, and thus I expect no reward."

        The manager, upon hearing this, remarked, "This programmer, though he
holds a position of small esteem, understands well the proper duty of an
employee.  Lets promote him to the exalted position of management 
consultant!"

        But when told this, the programmer once more refused, saying, "I exist
so that I can program.  If I were promoted, I would do nothing but waste
everyone's time.  Can I go now?  I have a program that I'm working on."
