Hi Mark, again,

yeah, would've been nice if I tested that last bit - it doesn't work :(

the following is tested, and works, but it's cumbersome - someone else
can definitley do better !

location="`grep '^OpenOffice\.org 1\.0\=file' ${HOME}/.sversionrc | sed -e 's/^\(OpenOffice\.org 1\.0\=file:\/\/\)\(.*\)/\2/g'`"


blah
