Thanks for putting the utility in the files Jim. I think it doesn't
work with Mac'asaurus - (time to change to PC)....?
I have the CD Jim - it is so good but strange they put a block so

I didn't know you could program, Jim?
And thanks for the Concordance info - saved me a few hundred dollars!
best wishes
