Thanks much.  That eventually got me to <ftp.gnome.org> where I found
sources.  (I don't understand why a search of <gnu.org> didn't yield
anything.)  Using RPMs is nearly always preferable-- for it makes
package/systems management much easier.  There are sites offering
gnumeric RPMs, but, for me at least, known reputable sites satisfy
security concerns.
