Whoooaaa. I'm not a software guy, so it would take me a lifetime to figure out how to do those things. I was toying with the idea of a superficial hack.....not sure when, it would be a matter of time, so probably not soon (but it sure would be nice to solve the problem though). Also, much of the information is in the log files, so it may be preferable to look in there rather than embed the info into a long desktop name.
This sort of leads me to a 2nd point. If I ever get to superfically hacking c-code, I would have to recompile. No sense recompiling an old version. But, I can't seem to get the most recent version to recompile because the zlib version was hard coded somewhere (I can't find where even with recursive grep). The sympoms are described at: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=1161931&forum_id=7154 subject: Zlib version error compiling for solaris8 Date/time: Oct 8/2002 18:31 I would be eternally grateful if a kind software guy/girl (person) could point a way to find the hard coding of the zlib version so that I can change it to the version I got from the web. Thanks.
