    Thanks everyone for your help.  I manage to do a source upgrade.  I 
did not know if it would be this involved.  Updating the
source was simple, but a little tedious.  I never thought I would be 
compiling so many different things, which made me a little
hesitate at first.

    Graham, thank for the info on the binary update.  This is exactly 
the kind of tool I wanted.  For a second there I thought my supfile
would do a binary update.

Thank You
