Mike, you are correct. Even grateful, clearly. But never "gratuitous," I
hope. I did my research as you suggested (not in depth, I confess) and you
were a very busy man. I reiterate that we are all embarassed. Given the
way OD has performed on my machine (VCPI and EMM386 come to mind), I am
quite disappointed, too. I hoped for much better. I retract.
