Hi Heiner!

I only thought of putting some sample batch & text files on my webpage after
explaining everything to Leonid, too late! :)

One big difference between Windows XP and 98 is the size and scrollability of
the DOS box that Chest is running in. 98's is fixed and has no scroll, XP's is
scrollable to a selectable number of lines. So if you have XP you don't have to
output to a textfile even when using the -s switch. That's very convenient.

I must admit that I don't understand half of the -s output, and that's an
understatement! :) I know you have explained some of it in the past, so I'll
look through the archives for that (I have all! posts in a Paradox database).

Oh ... and on the other other hand :) a BIG THANKS to Dann for compiling the
variable hash version of Chest for me yesterday! Works like a charm, although I
haven't checked if they're faster for big problems yet.

Groetjes, Grüße, Greetings & Dobryi Vetcher, :)
Paul
