Gosh all I know is that this program wouldn't install to be integrated with the operating system and then be able to be used.

OPEN STATEMENT TO THE UBUNTU user community.
I'm located in Fresno, Calif. and if there is anyone out there in Fresno, Calif. or worldwide that wants to have software OPERATIONS documentation - written to support the software code and its performance, and also support the software users with operating instructions, then I'd be happy to type the required text as my contribution to the Linux/Gnu/Ubuntu cause - so to speak.

You can e-mail me at: David_Wells_59 at Yahoo dot com ----- HOWEVER, MAKE CERTAIN YOU PUT THE WORDS "Ubuntu User" in the subject heading, that way I'll know it's not junk mail and is important to me. THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO WORKS ON Linux, Gnu, Ubuntu and all the folks that make the products and sub-products that go into making up such a fine end result. My hat if tipped and off to you with a hearty THANKS! - for thinking of someone besides yourself and your own selfish motives - if - you fit into that category! some people can give things away for free and still have selfish motives -- therefore - my hat is NOT tipped to you but --- I suppose I should still say - THANKS!

So THANKS EVERYONE - which is responsible for my Ubuntu and Linux overall experience.
David Wells
