Thanks for the offer: I read it a little late.

In any event, getting to UWA is difficult, and with box in hand, next to 
impossible as I rely on public transport. Besides, I've been running a 
program under (xx)gdb for several days. I hate to interrupt it in case 
it's not broken. The program IS advancing: I check a print file it's 
creating from time to time:
[summer at possum .Inet]$ uptime
  9:20pm  up 11 days,  6:59, 19 users,  load average: 1.20, 1.17, 1.07
[summer at possum .Inet]$ 

I think the reason it's so slow is xxgdb has problems with a print file 
directed to its window. The program normally runs in a couple of minutes.

However, it finished arriving overnight and I'm now admiring the 58 page 
setup guide.

I'm hoping the registration keys I got a few days before its release work: 
they didn't for 5.0.

Are there any handy hints?

btw I've spent much of the day perusing the ipchains documents. ipchains 
are cool.
