    OK great! I am the only one using my system. If I don't do anything 
shared then I don't have to worry about UAF> and authorize then? If I am 
understanding correctly. I am familiar with modparams.dat. But I have not 
seen anything yet that would need to be changed there. what I am seeing with 
80K and 100K is installation and blocks need for /simply having/ the 
compiler around. Now are you saying I don't have to worry about that? I am 
looking at the iguide. Somewhere in there surely it will mention what needs 
to be down with modparams.dat. I will concentrate on that then.

Thx.
