As if anyone would let me near one <grin>.

Well, believe it or not it was a lot easier to re-install the package and
let it reset links in the package and reinstall the /bin directory than it
would have been to set all of the links by hand (assuming I could remember
them). Expanded and installed, the package comes to 74meg, with links
*everywhere*.

What are backups for, anyway?

As to what they're teaching kids, I ain't a kid no mo'. and I'm teaching
myself, and thus I don't get bad grades, I get a problem tha I'm stuck with
until I fix it.
