Rogan,

   I typed the command with the backslash, to emulate what one would do in
windohs, and the error message returned by wine removed it.

   Done.

   Anywho, yesterday evening I received a call from VMware and purchased their
"gold" support (which, for $6 more than the silver support, includes
telephone as well as e-mail). I'm confident that once I get this upgrade
issue fixed -- and it's the worst upgrade FUBAR since the pre-1.0 beta
versions I ran -- I'll have access to the MapSource data from there.

   It would be nice to load all 586M on the laptop and run it with wine, but I
have higher priorities for my attention.

   Thanks very much for all the suggestions. It would have been nice for one
to have actually worked. :-)
