 Q:  I want to run the cvs copy of gnuef but have a copy already installed on 
the machine.
     gfclient always seems run the installed code base.  How do I override this 
with effecting
     the installed copy.
 
-
 A:  Run setup_cvs_devel.sh from the top level gnuef directory.  This creates 
     symlinks in the client directory to trick gfclient into using the CVS 
     version of GNUE Forms.  You must then run gfclient from the client 
     directory for this to work.  Executing gfclient any where else still 
results
     in the installed copy properly being executed. If you want to use a CVS 
gfclient 
     against installed sources, just [re]move the gnue directory in the client 
directory.

+Q:  I need more help!

+A:  See the individual INSTALL files for more platform specific FAQs
