Vincent thanks for your help on this... It's one of the few (but most infuriating) problems I've had with 9.0 (yes I've been luckier than some) Would it be possible to post in the errata a list of what all the links should be from alternatives. Then a kind of general "check this" directive? I know for me the alternatives directory is kind of new. Just a thought and thanks again for the help.
