And I'm somewhere between a rock and a hard place here.  Because linux 
doesn't like spaces in filenames, I saved that with underscores in place of 
the spaces, which is legal.  Then I used mc to put it in Genes-os9-stf & 
chowned it so the web server could see it and folks could grab it from 
there.

Then security got in my face, and wouldn't let me even run acroread as 
root, and evince, even when run as root, would not allow me to open that 
file.

I had to chown that whole directory tree to be owned by me long enough to 
load it up into arcoread & print it, then chown that whole tree back to 
where the web server could see it.

Security is getting entirely too damned paranoid IMNSHO.

Now, to the rifle range.  I'll resume trying to get sled itself into the 
coco's filesystem later.  Right now I am plumb out of patience with the 
whole permissions thing.

Cheers, Gene
