Excellent, excellent, excellent, excellent.  All in one.  IMHO, this 
was *needed*.

Nice...  I'm on the fence about that file extension business, I can 
see both sides of the coin.  But then I'll use version 0.79 and I 
won't even have to let it concern me.  *grins*

Ahhh!  Everyone loves utilities.  :)

Great work, Aley.  I need to get access to a decent PC right now...  
I'm relegated to an old 486 at the moment (erk! (actually, it's fine 
for old games, but not so fine for a lot of other things)).  Once I 
have the oppotunity to get something a little better, SimCoupe 0.79 
will be first on my list of downloads.
