Thanks.  Where do I download only sorcery.  I did download the tarball 
along time ago, but I forget where I got it.  I see some tarballs at 
"download.sourcemage.org/sorcery", but they appear to have the grimoire 
also.

I am already using /var/lib/sorcery/codex/devel along with scribe, etc.  
I haven't had "grimoire" directory for some time, and lockexec was 
installed when I went to the new .../codex/... sorcery.  I usually do a 
"scribe update" weekly.  However when I do: "gaze installed sorcery", I 
get 0.8.2.  When I do "sorcery", the dialog title is 0.9.1.1.  I am a 
tad confused.  I am obviously NOT sync'ed somewhere.

Any thoughts?  I wonder if an install of only a sorcery will get me 
right again?
