Thanks for the changes. I understand the necessity now. I've done some tests and after your latest fix, everything seems to be working fine. Let's hope our users won't be too mad at us for changing the format. I have some time in trains this and next week. Maybe I'll try to figure out if it's a small change to bypass the metrics file entirely. :-) Actually, finishing my DataMatrix implementation is more important but if this were only a small step we should take it. *g* Otherwise, we'll defer that to the FOray stuff.
