Maybe, but when your system is dead saying only "syntax error", it is the only solution I found to restore the situation from osx. Can you propose a better one ? Knowing that I didn't have a rescue disk at hand. To avoid having to use this rescue method, I added this syntax checking step in my ybin but Ethan does not seem to be interested by patches for version 1.3. >Please >don't advertise your hack for the general public I don't like to hide a solution.

I didn't know neither, but I had no other choice when I was in this situation. -- Cedric "[Of course] I'm French! Why do think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king-a?!"
