Hi Derek,

fine that the Fritz7 update worked with my hint :-)

To your problem with Hiarcs8:
I´m sure, the update didn´t overwrite anything in your Hiarcs folder,
but the programs (GUIs) for Fritz and Hiarcs are the same AND use
the same INI-files in the same folder. So only those INI-files
(Apps70.ini, ...) were overwritten by your update.
But I think it´s not a good idea (and wasting harddisk space) to
work with those two programs (Hiarcs and Fritz GUI) in parallel -
every settings change you make in ONE program will affect the OTHER
program too, so in my opinion this makes no sense.

Best regards,
Franz.
