Rob --

	Good recommendation.  I've followed up with that.
	
	However, it's not the API that's the problem.  You see, the
	CSA API is totally overspec'd.  Many of the really cool and
	useful features are optional on different systems.  Apparently,
	older release of the CSA libraries (notably, 1.0.x) did not
	implement several of the features that I chose to use in 
	PilotManager.
	
	So, this really is an implementation versioning issue :-(

P.S.	FYI, the Calendar::CSA module that PilotManager uses was,
	in fact, developed on both Sun and Linux (using Tri-Teal's
	CDE libraries on Linux).
