Thanks, BTW. I really haven't tried 4.6 yet either, for similar work- related time constraint reasons, and IIRC that overlay hasn't been around for /too/ many cycles, so I've not really had a chance to use it. But thanks for the effort. It is appreciated, and I now have that overlay on my mental checklist for the next time I /do/ decide to unmask gcc. Having gone thru several cycles without it, I'm already sure it's going to be /quite/ a benefit. =:^) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
