Agreed which was why I was hoping for a PGP signed copy. :)

When I first started posting I was using the prepackaged ytalk from the
CD Release.  I later dnloaded the src from the maintainer's site.

I tried the above some time ago but was unable to get things to
compile.  I am far from a programmer and was somewhat lost while mucking
around trying to clear up the errors I was getting (I got a little
further each time but...).  Eventually I had to prioritize and move on
(as I said, I got things working by symlinking a bogus file to the
library it was looking for.  Since it's never really used when not
working under X (and I don't use X) it gets me by for now.)  I'll worry
about the consequences at a later date.... ;)


Thanks for the reply!!
