Thanks, Ron, I used the manual that was bundled with the FlightGear download that I made just two days ago. I assumed that it would be the latest. It mentioned not changing the file descriptor, .gz. I know just enough about the subject to suspect that .gz is a *nix file descriptor. but the manual did not give any hint of what you have told me, at least not in the part that I read. I will try again this evening, using your info.
