I'm puzzled by this comment because I run get_iplayer under Windows XP, and I have no system options file at all. Here, C:\Documents and Settings\All Users does not have a "\get_iplayer" folder let alone an "options" file within it. Looking at the get_iplayer code (but with non-expert perl eyes) I get the impression that the file will be read from if it is present, but nothing actually within get_iplayer creates it - is that right? -- Jeremy Nicoll - my opinions are my own. _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
