At        MF> that point, I ducked out because not knowing what would        MF> happen if I selected one of the Servers, I sure didn't want        MF> to trash anyone's system =8-/              Hmmm.. So you don't know either??!?!?!?!?              When I selected a server, the action completed with an exit. So,        I don't know what was supposed to happen. I thought it would        scan all echos on a per/server basis. But the "Yes" selection        just quit abruptly.               AA>> BTW.. The English string could be transplanted very        AA>> nicely into the space for the German version with only a        AA>> difference of one space via Paul's binary edit suggestion.               MF> Yes fine but that doesn't actually fix the problem. It        MF> would have to be transplanted into the executable in the        MF> next release and the next and the next and the next, ad        MF> infinitum.              True enough. But I could reduce the work for myself by 50% by        skipping every other release. I could reduce the work even        further if I skip every 3rd one, and so on! :D              I have a binary editor that operates with scripts. To search and        replace could be part of a routine with a catalog of changes.              --        ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.49        * Origin: The ONLY point that matters! --> . <-- (2:221/1.58)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 105/81 120/340 123/131 124/5016 129/305 154/10       SEEN-BY: 203/0 221/1 6 360 226/30 227/114 702 229/101 424 426 664       SEEN-BY: 229/700 1016 1017 240/5832 249/110 206 317 400 280/464 5003       SEEN-BY: 282/1038 288/100 292/854 8125 301/1 310/31 317/3 322/757       SEEN-BY: 342/200 396/45 423/81 120 712/848 770/1 2452/250       PATH: 221/1 280/464 229/101 426           |
