I =think= I have the right sequence of events here:

One RPM that I installed required libforms.so.0.88, so I found that
and installed it.  Then another RPM wanted the same library in version
0.86, an older one.  I thought I had a web path to find that, but when
I got there, that library wasn't among those listed.  I guess I'll
find it, though.

My question is whether it's appropriate to install an older library
when a newer one is already on the system.  I'm thinking the newer
files could get overwritten.
