It takes time and effort to explain things without it. Good luck to you on that, Lanman. I know your explanations got me out of some real fixes when I was starting out.
The other problem, as you say elsewhere, is that of making the software switch. In a recent thread Tango Echo pointed to http://linuxshop.ru/linuxbegin/win-lin-soft-en/#1 and wondered if we could do something like that on the TWiki (you do know about the TWiki, Lanman? See my sig, if not. I'm known as the list nag about it <g>). RL has been heavy here lately, and I'm going to be away almost all of the coming week, so I haven't time to get it started. What's needed is the start of a table on a TWiki page, to which we can add suggestions. I would like to see two additional columns, one for where the app can be found, and the other noting which versions of Mdk it's available for. Anyone volunteering to help us get started? I'm sure many will add entries once the page gets going. Anne -- Registered Linux User No.293302 Have you visited http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org yet?
