Let me just say, that it looks as though for the time being, the latest
version of the vimprobable port is f'd. As I said before, I was not
given details of what to put on my site. Thus, those of us who installed
the old version are getting conflicts. The new version fetches a file by
the same name as the old and I do not have the suffecient time to devote
to resolving this matter at this time.

I'm not sure what part of the world Abel is from, but I suspect he's in
bed. Sorry for the probs I've generated.
