	This is a really old version.  See below why it might be a good
idea to upgrade.

	Please see the newly added tools-FAQ entry:

http://www.geda.seul.org/tools-FAQ.html#A1

	Two things, 1) check that the system-commonrc is installed in
/etc/gEDA (or /usr/share/gEDA), and 2) I seem to remember that I introduced
some bugs around 20010722 (or 20010708) releases which cause problems
when rc files were not in /usr/share/gEDA (ie moved to /etc/gEDA),
so please upgrade to a more current release.
