thanks for the prompt response. A final question for the time being: where
can I get the latest stable source to compile on my Linux box? A wiki page
told me about a CVS repository, but I have no CVS right here on my machine
(it is running Windows and the only machine connected to the LAN.) Is there
a http or ftp server hosting the latest stable release?

Thanks for your assistance
