Yes, everything was >in binary mode. If it helps, I've had the same problems as Markus. Same symptoms, same background, same results. I can't vouch for 421-430, but the 411-420 is definitely screwed up somewhere. If Udo is reading this, could he please recheck what he sent out? >Thanks to Udo for keeping us up todate with Fred! It's appreciated! Same here. He does a great service, not only by keeping up to date, but in responding quickly to problems (a previous version was corrupt - and was fixed within 3 days). This is appreciated by all.

I got the unfortunate news already. I've been trying to save myself some work in the future and automated the process. It seems that something went wrong that wasn't easily apparent from what my script generated. I apologize for the problems this has caused and promise to swat very hard at the bug that caused this. >Thanks to Udo for keeping us up todate with Fred! It's appreciated! Thanks! I try, you know. Maybe I should try to get more sleep. Tonight, I'll slink home and do some bug hunting. > Markus Buchhorn /// | This space ._. Udo Schuermann "May you live in interesting times."
