 Hello John,

 Hmm, doubt it.

 Bummer, I was hoping that it was an exe or dll that got screwed
 so a simple overwrite would have done the trick. Not so it
 seems.

 Probably the best way would be to copy over all the ini files,
 delete the existing ones, reinstall WfWg, and then copy back the
 ini files and see which it crashes in.

 Thanks for the pointers anyway.

 Dieter
