<div><font size="4">and without something strange being done, it doesn&#39;t mnake sense. As an fyi some of the chnages were because the original code had errors in it that later compilers wouldn&#39;t allow, so we did what the dennis&#39;s comments said which turned out to be different from what the old code actually did. So at worst case some reverse engineering might have to be done.</font><br>
