Oh, shoot. I was hoping it was actually a couple of programs. The
descriptions of each package was handy for me. It has been a year and a
half since I ran linux fulltime. Thanks though.

You know, I never even looked on the NT side. But, for example,the RedHat
dir shows up as REDHAT.000. I have LFNs on NTFS drives though.
