Thanks for your answer, it's reassuring.  I will continue to use the
latest version.

...and thanks for that suggestion.  I'll make further enquiries.

And if I may go off topic for just a moment - I think I am one of perhaps
many newscomers to linux via distributions such as Suse with a reasonably
"user-friendly" interface.  However, to give other posters an idea of how
little some of us know, I would say that I understand about 1 percent or
less of each posting I see on this list !

That said, I appreciate the vast amount of work that many people must have
done to make Linux and its software available to us "ordinary folk".  I
get a lot of patient help from friends far more expert at using computers
than I am, either in person or via newsgroups, so this gives me a chance
to thank all of those involved with "wine".  I find it very useful for
running a Windows version of a word-processor originally developed for the
Atari platform, called "Papyrus".   Anyone else use it with wine ?
