- Paul dealt with the rest of your request, but I'm *really* curious

- /usr/local/bin (or elsewhere in /usr/local), and it seems unlikely
- that the names would match anything of your own (although not impossible,
- of course). Was this the 4.1 IDO, or some other package? If not IDO,
- let us know what it was, so we can fix it.
