***********************

This is a good point Steve!  As I am running SuSE 8.2 now with newer
glibc, gcc, KDE and QT, some things may affect me that wouldn't on your
setup now.  Although, I don't know that there would be that many differences
in the way the program behaves as we usually compile the program to our own
systems.

My version and build of the program is 0.9.9 and F.C.C.T and yes, Paul, 
if you would
like to use some of us as guinea pigs, making available the latest 
builds for us to
compile would give you better overall feedback.  Not only from each of 
us, but
should allow you an idea how the different linux distros behave with the 
program.
Although, certainly the CVS would keep us on the bleeding edge, I am not 
sure I
want to invest sensitive work to it.  ;-)
