First, the original page link we had is broken. so clarify for us the URL you intend to update. A download link on each page is helpful. Our link was to CHKSYS so I had to manually navigate up one level to hunt around for the actual source code. We probably should link to your main page so one navigates down to what one is looking for. I think the download page link has one word like 'here' or something. Maybe pull that out to a separate line that says "Download Sources" in bold or something. Just a suggestion, by all means do as you please. Jerry
