Bill,
 
I don't see your point here.  I don't understand why, if you aren't running 
Opus, you find it necessary to come into MEADOW and make dubious claims that 
there are hacks of Opus around.  I find the whole scenario extremely 
nlikely.
 
I said it before and I'll say it again (I'm good at repeating myself):
 
If you're so sure that there are these two different Opus 1.73a versions 
around, then prove it.  Take a utility like file compare and show me where 
the difference is.  Tell me where the two versions came from. 
 
Don't just come into the MEADOW and throw slime.  Put up or shut up.
--- Opus-CBCS 1.73a
