   And either case can be resolved by starting from scratch.

   Yep.  The last working install (prior to where it is now) was on an old 
PC that I stopped using due to hardware problems.  The hard drives were still 
accessible so I backed up their contents in various ways (images of the drive 
partitions as well as a simple copy of the their contents).  Since then, I've 
copied the irex install from that to various other systems, attempting to get 
it working again.  And of course, this happened over some time, as I wasn't 
devoting much time to it...  Finally copied it over to the current system 
(Debian v3 in a VM) where it worked well enough to get me to decide to devote 
more time to getting it operational.

 RW> If you have preserved the reg info, that should be a good way to go.

    I've a print out of that somewhere, but in this case since the old install 
was working well enough otherwise I just went into rexcfgl in another window 
for the registration info.


 RW> Use freshly unpacked files from a clean REX archive.

    That's what I ended up doing.  It appears to be operational but I think 
needs a lot of configuration. (And more understanding, on my part...)
