Thanks a lot John!

Please bear with me as I have not figured out how to check the VRPN version
number. Do you know how to do it?

I did not compile VMD. The current VMD is original with the machine I am
using. It's very possible it's a binary from your website. So should I
compile my own?

Thanks.

Shawn
