The GNU source is not installed by default, and I'll admit that it isn't obvious how to find it (I had to call WRS customer support to get the instructions). I don't know about earlier versions, but Tornado 1.0.1 at least uses a Windoze-ish install tool that lets you select which of the items you are licensed for you wish to install. Part of this selector menu includes a "details" button (which is intended to allow you to "fine-tune" a selection). If you select Tornado and details, you are given a list that includes the Tornado pieces and the GNU source (and perhaps some other pieces, I don't remember off hand). The Tornado pieces are selected by default, the GNU source is not. One could easily argue that they made this harder to find than it should be (I did to the customer support person), but it is definitely there. ted -- Ted Goldblatt Ted.Goldblatt@telematics.com (954) 351-4367 Telematics Intl., Inc.
