Thanks for pointing that out....didn't see it when I looked.

'Might be a difference in the compiling.....don't know. But, because of
your success, I had to try to get it to work.

I'm sure I know Grizz, and if so, I think he'll be fine. Most I'd recommend
that they wait till release. I don't normally recommend to anyone "new"
that they upgrade to a beta release of anything. I'll beat up on my own
systems before I put it in use for clients. I've been testing some 
commercial
software, by the way. Vuescan won't run yet....still working on that.
Turboprint DOES work, even though the monitor daemon crashes.
