Hi Graham, I know of course, but your quote must have had some intention, otherwise it would have been useless at all for the _specific_ problem and question of the original poster. It is absolutely clear that you wanted to imply with your quote, that the user should _not_ use WB for Rybka and that is nonsense. If you don't agree I see no point for your answer at all, because it helped Greg not one jota. Thus, why had the 'messenger' send an at best irrelevant message? :) Regards, Guenther
