Thanx Don. I finally got it installed. The problem was that I had to uninstall
another version that I had tried and it didn't work. It was conflicting with
the new install. I did it from KPackage, but I had to do a fresh install
rather than an update. I would never have known if it was the right file if
you had not told me. Ireally appreciate it. You saved me hours of fiddling
around with trial and error.
