   That's the spot.

   Like me, my (DOS/Win) system is failing bit-by-bit.  What used to work now   
   doesn't.  Everything on this side of the transaction looked good.  Nothing   
   happened.  I suspect the background DOS task got killed by an unknown Windows   
   action.  :(  I'll send the file to you.  It will appear unaccompanied in your   
   insecure inbound... soon.  Thank you for your patience, Wilfred.   
      
    WV> Btw: I think 'send' is corrent here. I used google, and found: "'Send'   
    WV> is the present tense, 'sent' is the past tense.'" ;) Now I will have   
    WV> to try and remember that. Will be difficult. ;)   
      
   It sounds so cool with a Dutch accent too.  ;)   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
