- I tried that and it doesn't work. If anyone has any idea of how that
- could have happened and knows of a fix, I would really like to hear from
- you. I'm somehow running out of strength with this one.
-
- Somehow I think my system doesn't want me to release a 32 bit app that
- I've been working on for about 3 months now. Oh well, so much for this
- Jan. 1st release date.
-
- BTW, thanks to Ken for his suggestion.
-
- Nick.
