Thank you Robert and Jim. Christophe is facing an unexpected problem. The
compiler he uses generates faulty code especially in the TB part code. He
is now in the state of installing a patch for the compiler.

For those who don't know what a "compiler" is: a compiler is a tool to
write a program in a language that is understandable for a programmer also
known as the "source code".

Then the compiler translates the "source code" into code that your PC
will understand, typical cases are the .EXE or .DLL files. When there
is a bug in the compiler and especially in the case it generates wrong
code this may cause minor to tremendous damage to the end-result.

Funny detail, the complier used is from MicroSoft. So please blame Bill
as he is used to it :)
