I saw that Mark had jumped in, so waited to see if that was helpful...

My wizard was guessing that a different compiler might have caused the
problem you were having in finding the sequence...  I seem to remember
that the Maximus doors update was about the last thing that George did
do with BW.  The other wonder he had (I think I'm stating this right)
was whether you were trying to run the fix on the .exe that contained
the install or the .exe that would run the door itself...
