Indeed, although it needs to be remembered whenever the executable is 
replaced. IMHO the current behaviour is a bug, and from what I can tell 
relatively straightforward to fix, so on that basis a fix would be the 
ideal option. However, I am only too aware that I'm not actually planning 
to perform the fix myself, so if those who currently maintain the "active" 
versions of KA9Q disagree with me then that's my tough luck :-)

[I'm quite capable of getting the source and changing it, but my previous 
attempts at getting Turbo C++ 3.0 to compile the code have failed, and I'm 
not inclined to spend much time trying to work out why (as C++ is not a 
language I use a great deal). I probably ought to look at the code and post 
a fix, though; that would be a little more helpful. Where can I get a 
"current" version of code? I know where the official release is, but I'd 
rather look at a tweaked version.]

Mark.
