Install Issues - WinNT

[NormW]

Good Morning (A Saturday for us)
As far as I know of it I did read them and, (I think), understand
them....:-?

The downloads I got from the NASA site downloaded OK and stayed as .TGZ,
whereas those I got from PlanetMirror were presented as .TAR as soon as I
went to save them; why this should be I am long way from knowing yet.

The Install script worked without a problem on the downloaded .TGZ files and
as they say, it all went just like in the manual(!).

Given my amateur status it might have been best to keep quiet but it just
seemed odd that one site worked like the docs suggested and another one
didn't....

Anyhow, t'is a problem now gone. Thanks for taking the time to reply and
hope your weekend looks as nice as our one does at the moment.

Norm
