That seems encouraging - (but did you have the same prob as me before
switching to this software set?). Anyway sounds like I should try it. Except
I have debian boxes and prefer to stick wit the Debs in general. Can someone
tell me which versions of the tools are in the RH7.1 software set and which
bits (eg this jadewrapper) are perhaps not (yet) found anywhere else. Then I
can compare with the current Debian state of the art and see what the easiest
path to up-to-date software might be....
