Starting with 1.99o (or any BleedingEdge release made between now and then), that's what we'll do. You don't want to know why we didn't do this in the past. In addition, I verified that we used to have problems with J and that we no longer do (nor with Z), either. Of course our machines don't always behave the way other people's do. --Cliff ctm@ardi.com
