Forrest,
Thanks very much. I appreciate all your help. I applied the patch, but it failed. I believe it is because I am running a different (newer) version of anaconda-runtime, anaconda-runtime-9.0.96-0.20031027175019
I'll tinker more, but so far no luck.
Thanks again for all your help, you have put me on the right track.
Kev
