It requires a viewer which has a "Test" feature. The viewer is available free from: http://delta.com/ramsisle/ramsisle.html The "VendInfo.diz" file contains much information about the files and the main program itself. It can all be accessed via the viewer. -- Wolfgang John wjohn@webcom.com home page: http://www.webcom.com/wjohn - Phone Dialer and Logger - CD Player and Library
