I second what Marco just said. That has happened to me a few time and makes you want to smash it up with a sledge hammer then burn it and scatter the ashes on the CR.

I do mine in Lotus word first (if it's gonna be a big one). Cut and paste, jobs a good'n, no tears or toys out of ones pram!

Deep breath and Relaxxxxx

[quote="marco"]Ivor, I had you down for writing it in hex ascii using VI!
I assume you are using Lynx browser then?!?!


Actually Andrew needs to get Lynx so he can get the same enjoyment of retro kit that he does on his bike!


or stone tablets :idea:
