Thanks for the reminder, Mark.  The install does pop an error about
that almost immediately, but then hides it with the licence agreement.

But do let me say that that's about the *only* quibble I have with the
5.0 installer; it's *nice*, otherwise.  Who wrote this again?  Jerry
Rains?

Nice work, sir.
