Thanks.  Yes, I realize that 10.2 uses gcc 3.3, and with C++
old gcc 
versions may be a big headache.  I'll see about giving 10.3
a try as a 
first step, however.  Do you have a pointer to the Quartz
issues you 
mentioned?

and probably more

Do you mean the X11 version for 1.1.x?  Unfortunately, I
don't think the 
X11 version will be workable in my mother's
elementary-school environment.

Thanks for your advice!
