Yep. I didn't pay enough attention. Of course one may wonder why the
other file is stat'd, found to be present and then not used.

Yep. Somebody else mentioned this. It is so 80s. And early 80s at that.

I've got the right file and I've put the right space into it.
Now I get in troubles with fop:

Thanks for the help you gave to me up to now. I don't need anything
more. I'll stick with reading documentation with a web browser.

Thanks again,
