Hi Dennis, Sorry, I really don't want to do this. I understand that it will make your life easier, but it's also likely to make user support much harder. The existing setup means that people reporting bugs at least can give us a filename to describe what they're using. With such a symlink, we're likely to see even more people reporting bugs that we won't be able to help with... :-/ -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com We don't need no education.
