Hi List, I am very sorry not to be able to give full support to solving the remaining problems in 1.71UE. My mother just died and attention is drwn to other subjects now... besides I only have the laptop here with 1.61 still doing an excellent job.

Probably for most of us this is a very minor problem... for me the problem often occurs because my drawing diagrams program exports in .bmp 2 color. Regards, Bastiaan
