[FWTools] FWTools 3.0.8 Experimental Available, build scripts available

[Eli Adam]

Frank, 

I'm reporting a potential issue with fwtools_env.sh.

Normally I do the first suggestions of the documentation which works fine:
If you use Bash as your shell add the following to your startup script (ie. ~/.bash_profile):
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/FWTools-linux-x86_64-3.0.1/bin_safe

I was working with someone else and tried using sh fwtools_env.sh which did not seem to have the intended impact on Ubuntu 10.04.

I'm not sure if this is a serious issue since there is a working method and you can also go to bin_safe and access things directly there.  

Is the '8' in the 3.0.8 subject a typo?  The links below and the downloads on the website are all 3.0.6.

Bests, Eli
