    Hi,

    In my previous response about my experience updating to KDE 3.4.2, I
    mentioned that Kat was integrated but not working. Well, I got it
    working correctly. It was easy, actually.

    I just launched the application (K menu -> Utilities -> Desktop -> Kat)
    and it detected that I had not yet configured it and initiated a set-up
    wizard. After going through that (and finding and installing antiword
    *), it started indexing and for the first time ever, indexed my entire
    publications directory (1,463 files, 154 folders, 503,883,195 bytes)
    without crashing.

    (*) The set-up wizard told me I didn't have antiword and hevea
    installed. They appear not to be available on the 9.3 DVD. I found
    antiword on <http://rpm.pbone.net/> (I used the 9.2 version, whose RPM
    dependencies were met on my 9.3 system). However, I've not yet found
    hevea. Can anybody tell me where I might find it? It's not on
    rpm.pbone.net and I looked at the Guru's RPM site, but it didn't seem
    to be there. Since there's no search function on that site, so I could
    well have overlooked it.

    I acquire various technical publications without reservation, but I've
    ceased to try to organize them. Finally, I can start to find things
    again! I've been wanting to use Kat for some time. Now finally I can.
