Don't know - didn't use PPM to install. You could always make a backup prior to installing and then merge them somehow. I would just install PPT without using PPM - I think I got it in a plain zip file. > Don't understand why the html file need not be renamed -- it > (HEAD.html) did get overwritten (by a different head.html). I didn't know you had used PPM to install PPT. I doubt there are HTML files for PPT, but maybe when you use PPM there are. -- ,-/- __ _ _ $Bill Luebkert Mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (_/ / ) // // DBE Collectibles Mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] / ) /--< o // // Castle of Medieval Myth & Magic http://www.todbe.com/ -/-' /___/_<_</_</_ http://dbecoll.tripod.com/ (My Perl/Lakers stuff) _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
