I didn't know that.  Must be some lucky people around!

That would work.  I just thought that *.MSG would be smaller and easier.

I think that's the latest.

They should have LMOD12.ZIP, but LMOD13.ZIP is just out in the last few 
days.  It's a bug fix.  LMOD 1.2 didn't handle Ctrl-Z correctly, but LMOD 
1.3 does.  That is, for LMOD 1.2,

lmod /L* [] < foo.bar

hangs, but

type foo.bar | lmod /L* []

works.  Apparently the "type" strips Ctrl-Zs, and as lmod is usually used 
in a pipe, it took a long while before anybody noticed  ;-)  I'll file- 
attach 1.3 to Ben Ritchey ASAP, or you can pick it up from Horst's Web 
site;  http://home.mnet-online.de/horst.muc/

     Regards,

              Robert.
