  Sorry; 'Woody' was actually v3...


 RW> Debian does present a problem.

   Depends on the version...  As you many not be aware; Debian Woody (v3) was 
released in 2002 (and later superceded in 2005) and therefore uses the older 
versions of the standard C libraries.  Which, IIRC, was the issue with running 
IRex on Linux systems...

   Not surprisingly, but I'd like to have it running again; both for the 
capabilities my systems don't currently have and as a reference point for 
those capabilities.
