IIRC you told rpm to place all files in a specific place and then run you install your package to use that library. I can not remember the specifics about how to do this since this was back in 1999 that i remember reading/doing this. I might be totally wrong with this. if anyone remembers this trick, because i dont have the instructions or any idea where to look for this.<br></div><BR><BR>Steven<br> <br><br>"On the side of the software box, in the 'System Requirements' section, it said 'Requires Windows or better'.
