Some days it is better for me to read my mail from newest to oldest - or at least read through everything before replying. Well stated. I now wish I used a different example that notepad - although that is indeed a good one, since every Windows user has it and it is frequently a default in Explorer. Hopefully, the gentleman maintaining the svn repository (Edward L Fox) will talk to the gentleman who properly marked the files in CVS. I have also had no problems with the CVS distribution -- Best regards, Bill
