Wow. 

I just loaded the newer version (1.99o) using cvs. I didn't realize that
is is essentially a tarball. All you need is the pcb directory, by
the way. And it all configured and built very easily. 

Maybe there needs to be a link on the pcb home page explaining
how to do this. It's not difficult, but first I had to load cvs, and
then follow the instructions on sourceforge.....And the pcb homepage
is still referring to really old versions.

Anyway, the new version looks like a BIG improvement. A few little
annoying defaults that I'm sure I'll get used to. And the movement from
from one side to another is apparently very east. Also, the new lib
is more complete. 

Thanks to all who pointed me to this. It looks very useable now.
