The program is called TreeLine, located at <www.xecu.net/dougbell>.
I don't think the problem is with my program, but it would be good if
you could try it.

Unfortunately, none of the distributions seem to be very good at it.
I've used Mandrake's RPM's - they work OK, but they are very slow to
package upgrades (still only at 2.5).

I'll pass that along.  Let me know if the source RPM's work out better
than the binaries.

Thanks,
Doug.
