I meant: You should not need to copy the files since the makefile is
instructed to do for you.

As I said: That the d*mm makefile should have copied it for you. And I can't
see why it did not.

How very true. My mistake.

That's what I would hope for too. But if you look at there web side you will
see that ASIS is a adverticed as a seperate product - I wonder how much you
have to pay extra for it.
