Hi, Peter--

Okay, so...I tried to do an update-all, and got hung up on a file which
wouldn't download, and there's no option to skip, just retry or fail.
However, I then went through fink list, and saw teknap!!! Thank you!! I then
installed it, and NO ERRORS!!!! Yay! Thank you again!


And (drum roll please....) It's running!!!!

Thank you!

Best Regards,
Jeffrey
