Google for "pplus165.exe" to find Did that. It came up here: <http://mikrocomputertechnik.fh-mannheim.de/Download/Software/software. htm> and here: <http://pricelessware.org/thelist/fil.htm> But the download link from the Pricelessware site is broken. The file is available from the .de link. It's 231,061 bytes, which, I assume, is the correct size for the recommended "Properties Plus 1.65"? Addendum: The link from this Pricelessware page is also stuffed: <http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/2004/PL2004FILEUTILITIES.php> Cheers, Phred. -- ppnerkDELETE@THISyahoo.com.INVALID
