Aha!  So 'dirname' is not as portable as I thought.

I'll need to think of a new way to obtain the directory where the script
is. The only purpose of this is to cd to the data directory:

DATA_DIR=`dirname $0`/data-01a1236688

There is no guarantee that the user will run the program from the same
directory where the program resides. You could well run:

./odfviewer-linux-beta1/odfviewer-installer

So, suddenly, I can't do 'cd data-01a1236688' and I can't use `pwd`.

I'll need to think about this.

Thanks for the help Peter!

Cheers,
Daniel.
