 	Well I had a Desqa ,  I don't remember if its Delqa compatible or not . 
I tried that and get the same output from th eboot process(*) .
 	Where can I find the tools ?  Are they in the same place ?  I remever we 
moved to svn/git & right about that time I had to move to Washington state then 
to California .  So it's been quite long enough I don't remember nor have 
experience with the new tools .
