:?) Thanks for the concerned/panicked response, Akkana :?). I was being too simplistic in my statement, I know & I apologize. A little background - I'm a programmer, and although I know _nothing_ about python (but I may have to pick up a book on this one), I should be able to figure out what needs to be where. and I like to play, so more's the fun! %^} But OTOH, if there's any help or pointers anyone can offer to ease this task, I'd be greatly appreciative. I'd much rather just 'plug+play' on this one rather than go thru all this hassle, so first I'm going to check out what Anthony had suggested about looking for the final release of the desktop package & see if I can just install the parser from that. The main thing is, if anybody knows of a tarball available instead of a rpm, please let me know. -- GROG! __^__ NetBSD: May the Source be with you -- Greg thks /(o o)\ Earle --oOO==(_)==OOo-- (GnuPG 1.2.3: http://grog.sixbit.org/public_key_list)
