Hi Bill,

Thanks for your reply. If I would like to get the "Zoot" version of "tar"
ball, from where can I get it? Please let me know ASAP. 

I really appreciate your feedback.

Thanks.

The difference?  Everything. ;)

Seriously, everything was rebuilt between the two releases.
The second one you mention is much more complete, has thread
support in glibc, has a *much* more stable kernel, newer
toolchain, newer debugger, and is generally better.
