Franco,
Thanks for your help. That is exactly what I needed to know and it appears
to work.
Your message was slightly confusing however, because your example of "MULT"
= 4D 55 4C 54 = 1634758764 decimal was wrong.
"MULT" = 4D 55 4C 54 = 1297435732 decimal
Your example 1634758764 = "appl" which is, of course, the Output File
Type - but I managed to work out what you meant!
Thanks again.
Charlie
