I never did get the downloading of source tarballs working, I always meant to go back and work out why but never did get the time or energy to do it: It tries to use the java routines to do it which I could get to work. I should have reverted it to using wget or something instead. Manually downloading it and telling PUFA where the tarball was worked perfectly okay so it got put deep down on my things to fix (or never fix). > np > -- I just downloaded the tarball manually and tried again.

I can't remember how much teamware ws related stuff there is in it - there must be 'sccs' file 'edit' and stuff like that that will need sorting. I'm not sure how 'svn' handles things like that. > (BTW, I was running it as root... What... Am I NUTS? Well, see my first > sentence.)

Good luck :-) Paul PS. if PUFA's java code is not very well written its because PUFA was one of my first and last attempts to write java. And as for OO I tried but I know its 'could-do-better' :-)
