Ok, that's good.

Hmm.. it would seem then, that editor that I'm using is stripping them
instead of leaving them in.  I have it set up to leave them in, but a
recent upgrade of various linux packages may have affected that editor's
behaviour.  Argh.. I'm glad you mentioned this, because it should _not_ be
happening :)

That is pretty yucky .

Heh.  I've got to get this fixed though, one way or the other  because the
filegate.zxx file is not the only file that might eventually be
affected..there are several options, at least so I'm pretty sure I can fix
this.

Thanks for letting me know about it..

Take care,
Janis
