I tought of backing up the libGl file just in case, but then if I restore the backup, the symilnk will still be in place, so if I do damage, I am not sure how to "unsymlink" (if that is a word lol) the file - should this cause problems with other programs, and am worried about destroying my system. As a newbie I have done a few installs in the last 6 months or so and have limited access to the net ATM so not in a good possie to rebuild. When I build the courage tho, I will do it the way you have suggested - cding to the directory. Thank you Andy --------------010001060106010409080502--
