      I just downloaded 1.0.4 on rh7.2 and followed the amazingly simple
    "make" instructions and IT ALL WORKED. What a joy. For 3 years I have
    been waiting to do documentation at work without hitting a brick wall in
    the first couple of minutes, and I was in heaven. It did everything I
    asked. It did sane things at every move. It was beautiful. Thank you
    all, THIS is what I have been wanting for a long, long time. No font
    problems. No crashes. No weirdness. No grief. No nothing. This is a
    fantastic "product" and I couldn't be more appreciative.
      I did encounter the same "save-as" ambiguity mentioned by Mr. Foster,
    and if anyone finds time to clarify the extension-vs-format uncertainty,
    it would probably be helpful. Perhaps (when appropriate) insisting on
    an extension that describes the format would clarify matters a little.
    But it was a minor point.
      This is a superb achievement, and everyone ought to think so.
      Thanks for a great job.
      Jim
