Actually, I can't write to most of the C: drive.

This list should help. I'll go into google groups in the AM and
look up the details. I was figuring that was the approach, I
doubt that I could've figured out this structure though, I was
going to be happy with plopping stuff in the blt2.4 directory

Thanks, it turns out that there are at least a few files that
have duplicate filenames in the tree (from memory,
bgraph1.tcl???). I don't know if there are multiple files
with the same name in different directories and WinZip didn't
maintain the tree structure or what.
