Oh. I wasn't aware of the change, though I think it a good one. If it was announced anywhere then I missed it. It would have been a good idea to tell the runtime linker to continue searching the old place, though. Doing this should be an adequate workaround for the time being, I believe. I think I've quite a bit of catching up to do on change file formats, package uploads and so on, so (if no-one else does the job) it could be a while before an updated version appears. - Richard -- http://www.elmail.co.uk/staff/richard/ GCS d- s+:- a-- C++ ULVS+++$ P+++ L++ E++ W(++,--) N(++,+) o?
