What I do there is whenever I write a <File> I call an externally provided Tcl procedure with the name of the thing just written. That proc then has a chance to emit any more XML (like a <Shortcut>, or <Registry> items) before returning to the main code which writes the final </File>. So far the scheme's working out OK for us, and I like the ability to "trigger" activity as it tends to mean we don't leave in dead Shortcuts and so on. > Also do you get any validation errors when you have hex id > values?

I don't get any validation errors from the hex IDs. I get lots of annoying 1044 warnings because of the silly short filenames I have to provide everywhere, but I just suppress them with -sw1044 :-) Cheers, Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
