Great, there will always be something for us to do. Now all I have to do is modify a tool to be Linux version-specific so I get the right ASCII put into driver(s). The drivers don't run in anything that has a shell or anything like that. They need to "know" the vendor-name of some interface chips so the name(s) were compiled in, based upon OS headers.
