I know about that, just hadn't got around to fixing it yet.

Dam, forgot.
Thanks for the corrections.
Steve.

Steve,
that installed OK on my notebook (EXTRACTOR problem excluded), including
under Windows.
While reading through the INSTALL doc I spotted a few typos and I also
noticed that the Windows installation description still says that you
should avoid spaces in file names, corrected these and my version is
attached (also tweaked the SPLAT description).
Under windows you do not see the full file names, just some truncated 8.3
versions, if you're creating these ISOs using mkisofs, I recommend
switching on the Microsoft Joliet extensions (-J).
Finally, for now, I installed using the "quick_install" script, having
cleared out my previous installation, but leaving the softlink /star in
place. Your script spotted this and offered to keep the link, but failed
to determine that the link was valid (i.e. pointed at the right directory,
/home/pdraper/starlink in this case). From a quick look I see you use the
"pwd" command to follow the link, this doesn't work under bash as "pwd" is
a builtin that doesn't do full path resolution, I think you need to use
the /bin/pwd program instead (although this would probably break for some
NFS mounted systems too).
Cheers,
Peter.
