Okey doke. You can just overwrite (cp) the file in the GLAM/knowngood dir and commit the change.

Rupert, I can provide Duncan with the tar file to install the Sun compiler on your machine of choice.

Yes, it is nice to end up where we were headed. We do have some significantly better code as a consequence of all our labours, however:)

Cheers,
Gethin.
