That is correct.  I asked for some help from the pre-beta folks, but nobody
replied so I looked elsewhere.  Given the amount of demand there is for a 
Linux version, you'd think it would be easier to find help with these things.
As it is, I'll probably be putting online real soon now a binary that is only
guaranteed to work on one Linux machine, mine, and that one doesn't run what
any sane person would call a standard distribution (Caldera OpenLinux 2.2 
with upgraded kernel, runtime, and compiler, and painfully recent versions 
of the standard graphics libs [1])

[1] Though I've heeded the advice of one TAG member who actually did report
back on his experiences and dropped back to the old PNG library in deference
to a certain broken package manager whose initials are RPM.
