Thanks for the advice all...
Seems to be that Ppview32.exe does not like to use long file names (i.e.
more than 8 characters) and once one long file named file is unable to open,
the viewer seems to almost store it in cache as it opens very quickly
causing other short file named files not to be read in. A quirk in the
Viewer perhaps???
