I'm not at that workstation today, but I believe the version I downloaded
was 0.24.2.

I tried doing a make archive like you suggested, but I got "No rule
available to make target 'archive'." and then a whole bunch of directory
entry attempts with Error 2 results.

Is there a "Book of Garnome" somewhere?...
