I agree; the documentation that comes with V2.0 is extremely thorough and
complete. The installation program also makes things much nicer. My
congratulations to the distribution team!

Hmmmm.... Funny, I used the file called "INSTALL" in the main directory
on the distribution. It seemed pretty clear to me; perhaps it wasn't
abuseive or sarcastic enough for you to understand it.
Tell you what - get a copy of INSTALL. Follow the instructions contained
therein. See if that works for you; it does for many others... :{)

It's part of your distribution. Look for the file called "INSTALL". I
know it's a bizzarre name; maybe the developer's can rename it to
something like "These.Are.The.Instructions.Read.This.Before.Spouting.Off".
Just a suggestion.

I agree. :{) :{) :{)
