Actually, I just found the authors names in the manpage.  They wrote this 
thing back in Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 LTS days, so I have posted a note and a 
screen shot pix to them as I am now convinced its a Hardy to Lucid thing.

Thank you for taking the time to try & sort me, I know most have better

All things are possible, except for skiing through a revolving door.
