Nope. Checked for that. At least, in the
top level directory, which is where those
files are.

Must be later than I thought. It's the standard

No, nothing like that (that would've been my first
thought). I'm still pending an upgrade to 7-no-dot-0,
but haven't had time with the press of crs needing to
be done.

I'd be happy to, but I'm behind in my week's quota of

week I've really not managed to get anything done besides
get gdb running again... =(
