You're right.  I had to install Fink twice, and the first time I remembered
to activate the unstable tree, but the second time I guess I forgot.  My
apologies.  (Btw, I did try the '-G' option, but I was hoping to color by
file extension, and I didn't see a way to make that work.  Thanks for the
suggestion.)
