Dex,

Thanks for this help, but it is clear that I need a bit more skill with 
rpmbuild than I have...

For when I make this change to ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/tightvnc.spec, then from 
~/rpmbuild/SRPMS I run 'rpmbuild --rebuild tightvnc.......src.rpm', I 
get the src.rpm unpacked, the .spec file overwritten and I am back where 
I am.

So what should be my current dir, and what rpmbuild command do I use? (I 
will add this to my journal of 'learning rpmbuilding').
