DAG DOESN'T have a Wmaker 0.91 RPM for RedHat 9 (see earlier recent posts about 
this.) I was reluctant to try to build one myself from source at this point. 
Was advised in replies to earlier posts that I might mess up older programs if 
I installed my own build due to dependency changes, etc. So, I'm stuck with 
0.81 for the time being.

Thanks Chris. I'll try something like this tonight!
