ET, Sorry for the delay in replying, I have been unwell for a few days. I have applied your recommendations and I am now down to the point of its complaining about various function members not being found. It is a different set, but more that will have to be worked through. I have encountered this sort of thing in my programming and I think I can get them sorted out, eventually. I do see a few other matters like the code has broken links to various utilities that are not located the same place on the new system as the old. I appreciate your input on the matter. In any case I am coming to the point that I wonder if the goal is worth the time it is going to take for a resolution. Eventually I am going to get a similar machine for myself and I will be able to work on at my convenience. The target machine is usually being used my my wife. I do want to figure it out, but I may have to do some more learning first. I do like your comments about Linux From Scratch and I think I will work my way through that. I think that should teach me the things I would need to know.
