hi Ed, thanks for your quick answer

but, err, no that's not the source of the problem, my subclasses.wrm is
empty.
In fact, if I 'grep Gene *' in wspec, all I get is a few hits in
help.wrm, the models.wrm line, and one line in options.wrm (_VGene  -V
-D TREE -T Title)...
In fact this is a tiny and simple database, it's actually an assignment
I gave my students, so potential sources of errors are few.


But anyways, I just downloaded today's 4.9z build and it works fine
where 4.9t fails. So apparently this is a bug in the "stable" 4.9t that
has been corrected since then....


a bientot
