Tom,

Nuts.  The example on the web page is what tripped you up, and it is
not setup in the "standard" manner.  I just changed it to read like the
original way that you had it and what I recommended in my last email.
Sorry about that...

re: making local copy of GINI.CFG into UGAGINI.CFG so it won't get overwritten

OK, good.  All that you would have had to do was copy that saved version
back into the ~mcidas/workdata directory.

re: format of GINI files changed

Glad this will be of help.

re: looking at setup on cacimbo2
>Again, there appears to be no need for this.

OK.

Later...
