Wolfgang, please also have a look! ROY AND I SEEM TO ALMOST AGREE! (a rarity :-) CAN WE APPROACH A SOLUTION HERE ??? I have no objections that freely distributed executables are restricted to the official versions! I agree to destroy "patched" versions then. It was only meant to help. But no need for that, if "official" work is acceptable, also for us Qx0 folks. Peter
