I haven't read any previous posts re this matter. But if you are 
suggesting that it is possible to install Pascal's 10.1 version of smart 
in 10.2 and then simply manually configure the channels (which is what I 
wanted to do) then the problem with this idea is that smart will not 
install in 10.2 because of a dependency error--from memory it's to do 
with glib where version (?)<2.9 is needed by smart.

Cheers.
