Re: [orca-list] Latest orca.

["Hwaen Ch'uqi" <hwaenchuqi gmail com>]

Greetings Didier,

To answer your question, I too am using ubuntu-18.04, and thus, my
current version of orca is 3.28 - much too out-of-date, as I
understand. If I try either method that you have suggested, should I
first remove the current orca installation?
