   Thanks for that, in which case I will not notice it as my master uplinks do    
   not   
   use mystic - have no idea why not!!   
      
   Must have a look at what hatch does though as I do process some long file    
   names   
   :)   
      
   Mind you I am fairly sure it renames them to a 8.3 - in some case very oddly    
   :)
