Thanks for the reply. I have to admit that I'm a bit green when it comes to 
doing stuff like what you suggested. I don't really know how to do any of 
that CVS stuff and embarrassingly have to admit that I would probably find 
some way to really mess my system up trying to mix and match c files.

I am quite sorry for not being more knowledgable in such things, but I kinda 
got forced into all this and am learning on the fly.

So, maybe that tarball and a few instructions on precisely what I should do 
would be of extreme assistance to me.

Thanks so much for your help and patience with me.
