No, no symlinks except what was asked for in the install instructions.  

How would I tell if my staff client is 2.1.0 or 2.1.1?  In the install,
I specified 2.1.1, but looking at the client on the Windows side, all
I see is 2.1.  Then again, it would appear to be requesting rel_2_1_1
files, and that is how the directories are set on the server.

One other little note:  in the eg_conf file, I see the DocumentRoot
value being **quoted** in the secure case (port 443), but **unquoted**
for port 80!  I think the quotes should not be there, but it did not 
seem to make a difference after I removed the quotes and restarted
Apache.  Does that detail sound suspicious to anyone else?

Thanks,

Jim
