Hm, still learning everyday....  I made this decision based on actual
material saying source was somewhat better for this, but after, that's
one more thing to add the doc (which Paul did).

Raja>   ../../configure: source: not found

That's already done, but there is also an AWK portability issue.  I
will install the patch below some time today, together with a test.
In the meanwhile, may I ask you to give a try to the protopatch?

Thanks!
