Ah! Thanks for that Jiri. Unfortunately the webserver I've got my packages on 
is one that doesn't understand .htaccess files. 

Looks like it's going to have to be a "no install file" job. But on the plus 
side, anybody who's likely to install Apache (oh the irony of hosting Apache 
packages on a different type of webserver) should be fairly technically 
competent anyway.

Strange that the install file for the OS2007 version works without the extra 
data though...

Cheers
Tony
