As far as I knew, Jan wanted to do something about certain files which he
had downloaded (although he didn't give the proper names of the download
version of the files, as it turned out). I told him that I could provide a
way to find out what else was in the folder but he didn't ask. It would have
been one more line of script. He wrote me privately to tell me that my
script solved his problem, said nothing to the list, and now he writes
publicly to say that it didn't solve his problem, although - as it happens -
he didn't know he had the problem he now says it didn't solve.
I think I'd better take a break from trying to help people here. I don't
really need this.
