Dear Engin: Thanks for the feedback, and glad to hear it is working. I never managed to figure out what the problem was, but for some reason there were a bunch of orphaned resource forks (hidden files that look like this: ._foo ) which I deleted. It is possible that was a source for the problem.
If anyone is having problems, please let me know. Thanks. Bill PS: I apologize for the size of the recent downloads. We have a new president of the university system now, and in anticipation have added some intelligence and tracking plug-ins so that the NSA and Homeland Security will be better able to keep tabs on everyone's research.
