Amaya 8.8.5 vs. Amaya 9.x

Dear Amaya support:

I've used Yum to install Amaya amaya-9.5-1.fc5 (the fc5 version which i  
obtained via
http://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?submit=Search+...&query=amaya
as per the suggestion at http://www.w3.org/Amaya/User/BinDist.html

after installing this package however-- as done with Yum (terminal) KYum  
(KDE graphical) and YumEx-- ever time the aforementioned version of the  
file was installed, when i launched the application, it was the 8.8.5  
version which would run. bizzare, i thought. actually, it wasn't until i  
was composing this message, and i asked myself "Have I tried every  
possible method before contacting the Amaya support at W3C?", that it  
occurred to me that i had NOT yet tried the link directly at  
http://www.w3.org/Amaya/User/BinDist.html . so, i installed that version  
(the fc3 version), and sure enough, i am now running Amaya 9.51 on Fedora  
Core 5.

so, after much frustration and investigation, i am happy now. i thought  
perhaps you might want to provide some account of my experience so that  
others know what to expect.

thank you! and thanks for the wonderful development tool! there's nothing  
else like it! :)
