Hey, William: Cool -i have installed GDAL Complete 1.8, and now QGIS 1.7 runs 
apparently OK.

Am a bit concerned (based on the install warning, and what i have read here in 
the thread about backward compatibility) that i may be rendering project files 
unusable by colleagues (esp. one i work closely with, a Windows guy) still on 
1.6... But will cross that bridge if/when i i come to it, by urging one & all 
to updgrade.

About GRASS: looks like i have 6.4 installed, and upgrade to 6.4.1 is not 
required (obviously), but i will now proceed to upgrade that one too (seeing as 
how you've been right about everything else so far :)

Thanks, William!  /wl
