I'll let you know.
Nope. I had to create a new user for myself - again. Now it works as it should. Supplementary question to the list: pch says in use.desc that it gives faster compilation at the expense of disk space and memory. Does that mean just during compilation, or does it refer to the resulting object code? Compilation space is no problem, but I'd rather the binaries didn't occupy too much space. -- Regards Peter
