Many thanks to both for info. I have now downloaded the program and it seems to
do what I require. By the way how do you find out what programs are available
with a .deb extension. I assume stuart L you read my mesage re the next meeting.

Tar is a tarball
Gz is Gzipped file
So a Tar.Gz file is actually like a compressed zip file (litterally a gzipped
tarball), if u unpack it with an archive manager there woudl probably be a
bunch of files in there with a readme.
But yep you are better off with the deb package then you dont have to faff
about with makefiles etc..
Hope this info helped anyway.
