Hello Paul,

A whole lot of things are broken in quilt when it comes to spaces in name of
file. As soon as my life gets a bit less hysterical, I'll take the time to
fix that perticular bug, but I advise you to rename your files to remove the
spaces before using quilt, if possible.

And if you can, well. You'll become my favorite crash tester to that regard
;)

Bye, Mt.
And sorry again for the delays...
