Dan,

Thanks much for your reply and for the clarification on the two
programs.

Just to be sure, if I understand what you have above, the version of
gtnef from CVS will NOT work with Evo 1.4 under GNOME 2.x (I am using RH
9)?

I am not certain at this point that I have the technical skills for an
update to G2, unless it is relatively straightforward. Murphy's Law
would suggest not....  :-)

Thanks again,

Marc
