I think the main concern for me being baboon friendly is the census 
files right? Which we'll discuss tuesday?

In other news, I just tried to become baboon friendly again, and I seem 
to have gotten through most of the steps... and it says I am baboon 
friendly and shows the baboon picture... however when I try to run a 
dumptext, it says it cannot find the tables, Acts etc...  so there must 
be something I am doing wrong.. and as far as I can tell the only stage 
I'm "skipping" is "Install the Babase folders which are found in 
z:\babase\DATA\PROGRAMS

because I can't figure out how to "install" other than to just change 
the directories,   so I'm stumped.
