+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 run the cvs copy without affecting 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.

+
+    NEW!  Now, setup_cvs_devel.sh creates a script in the client directory 
+    called gfcvs.  You can run gfcvs from any directory and the cvs 
+    version of GNUe Forms will be executed.  If you will be doing much 
+    testing of CVS Forms, you may want to symlink gfcvs into your 
+    /usr/local/bin or /usr/bin directory.  
+
+
+
+Q:  I am using the PostgreSQL drivers and an getting an ImportError on pgdb. 
+
+A:  Try reinstalling the PygreSQL package.  Sometimes, PyGreSQL's installation
+    script fails to copy this file. 
+
+
+
+Q:  I am getting an ImportError on DateTime. 
+
+A:  You are using a database driver that uses the mxDateTime package. 
+    You can download this package at 
+
+        http://www.lemburg.com/files/python/mxDateTime.html
+
+    Note that Lemburg recently changed the directory structure of his 
+    packages.  If you have installed mxDateTime and are still getting 
+    this error, you may need to grab the development version of 
+    PyGreSQL as the stable version (as of 05/01) still references the 
+    old structure. 
+
+
 
 Q:  I need more help!
