- First thanks to all those who replyed. The net came through again! Special
- thanks to phil@cs.utexas.edu who hit it on the nose.

- For those who are interrested the .EXE was corrupt. I compared the .EXE on
- the hard disk with the one on backup (Yes, I backup regularly thank goodness).
- The .EXE on the hard disk was about 1/3 the size of the backup one. After
- talking with all the people who use the PC I came to find out that some of the
- blocks on the disk went bad and were cleaned up. Hence how I probably lost
- some of the .EXE
-
- Again, thanks to all those who responded.
