.... that's the "A program needs ..." version ...

.... and that's the big, nasty, yellow-y, orange-y "An unidentified
program ..." flavour, that you're getting at the moment.


Time to go out and sign yourself up for a Digital Certificate, if you
don't have one already, and start signing your applications.
