Thanks for the " . " reminder John, I was having trouble compiling source because I forgot! :) Is it just me (not noticing), but there is a percentage report along with the build, is this something new? In anycase, glad someone thought of it. Have not yet really taken 1.3.9 for a spin... but it sure loads fast (opening a new document page).
Thanks again. Henry P.s., I had breakfast (instead of lunch), & practiced the piano, too. On 12/02/2010 10:51 AM, John Culleton wrote: > > Attention all Linux users.
