John, Yes, I compiled with MSVC++6 + Service Pack 5. A couple of code quirks I reported to Bruce Moreland, the primary of which he had already heard of and was needed to run it under CB GUI. Everything else was fine (so far as I have checked it). I just did it so as not to be a giant rock that Bruce must balance on his head, but really I think he likes to have the feedback :) Regards, BK On June 19, 2001 at 17:19:35, John Hartmann wrote: >It does indeed seem to work very well.
