Wierd things here too. I examined the !System log file & found !System.Log : Wed,21 Mar 2012.12:42:02: Added file 500.Modules.CLib Wed,21 Mar 2012.12:42:02: Added file 500.Modules.DDEUtils Wed,21 Mar 2012.12:42:05: Removed 500.Modules.DDEUtils version 1.64; newer version 1.66 in 310 Mon,11 Jun 2012.18:36:49: Removed 500.Modules.CLib version 5.56; newer version 5.68 in root Tue,07 Aug 2012.23:29:32: Added file 500.Modules.CLib Tue,07 Aug 2012.23:29:32: Added file 500.Modules.DDEUtils Tue,07 Aug 2012.23:29:34: Removed 500.Modules.DDEUtils version 1.64; newer version 1.73 in 310 What's wierd is the March date which was before I upgraded this machine to the 4.39 ROMS & installed the !Boot from the CD. I suppose the clock could have been wrong at that point. The CLib 5.56 probably came from the Fireworkz site at abacusline. I love a good mystery. Regards, -- Chris Newman
