    Thanks Ro;
    
    I tried to untar this but it appears they're all "node" files and 
    wouldn't let me create them without actually placing them into the /dev 
    directory which I didn't want to do.
    
    Thanks for sending it anyway.  We're moving closer to a solution but 
    boy, this shouldn't be this difficult!!!
