The only truly way to get rid of this for good is to properly port the code and be specific about what mode your file should be processing in.<< So what I've found advertised as ported was ported only halfways? The author claimed that this port serves him well, but he seems to have tweaked his Cygwin setup to support this. Actually I tried to compile the sources on my machine with the modifications published by the same author. Unzip made it, zip won't link properly, but I couldn't find out what went wrong (I'll get back to this list if I gained some more insight). At least I will play around with unzip and make the changes you suggested. >>PS: Newbie's, you should visit my page.<< Done. Markus _________________________ Dr. Markus Hoenicka DLR Inst.
