This is probably due to my lack of understanding about how to extract the 
files I need to change.  See Mr. Doerfler's email.  I will be trying his

Windows/Cygwin.  I know, this is probably the most efficient environment 
but it's what we have right now.

Tell me about it.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I'll try Mr. Doerfler's suggestion first and if 
that doesn't work I'll take a look at your suggestion.
