This mail client only allows me to send such things as attachments.  I 
ran gmake5 in the NVIZ2.2 directory and attached the last part of the 
file.

There is a tag file. It contains
Treleasebranch_11_april_2001_5_0_0

As it happens, I did install it over my pre2 release.  I didn't expect 
to, but I had a soft link from "grass" to "grass5.0.0pre2".  The top 
level directory in the tar ball was named "grass" so when I unpacked the 
tar ball it installed on top of my pre2 installation.  I lost some work 
because of that, but it was my own fault.

It would have been nice if the tar ball had a non-generic name for it's 
top-level directory like the normal tar ball releases do.

Anyway, I did a "make distclean" on the pre2 directory before I 
installed the snapshot over it, not "make maintainer-clean".
