Hi Alan, I believe that some of these perl code to change things were high handed! Looking at it now and looking at the reply from Thomas, I can easily understand the problem! Probably, I would need a few days to look into the code and find out the implications! or place a permanent fix on it. Thanks for looking into the code!
