No !! This was missing, so I just copied it across from the other partition's
installation.
If this 'got removed', statisatically other important files will be missing?!
Well (mc and) poplog seems to run OK now.
Except I couldn't even remember how to zoom and swap 'windows',
after being off poplog for 8 months. Luckily I always collect
(cutNpaste) notes. The teachved is good for beginners, but I'd have
a nervous breakdown if I had the go through it again to get up to speed.
