Sorry about the delayed response, I lost the Newsgroup connection on Friday.

The exact PAC file contents is as the original example
#default.pac
function FindProxyForURL(url,host)
{
 if (isInNet(host, "10.0.0.0", "255.0.0.0"))
 {
   return "DIRECT"
 }
return "PROXY xap1.intra.hidden.com:8080; PROXY xap2.intra.hidden.com:8080;
DIRECT"
}
I've confirmed that this is exactly what is copied to the C:\temp directory
and both the source and the copy are 185 bytes.

I've confirmed the SavedAclPath is correct, I expect the CompileFile would
fail if this was wrong anyway.
The engine was downloaded from the ftp UK mirror and has the filename
js-1.5-rc5a.tar.gz I hope that helps.
chasing up the other linking error response next...
thanks guys,
I've now got a fully functional program using the Debug dll so i'm halfway
there. Apart from a 64k and a 32k Memory leak on shutdown. But lets sort
this Release prob out first.

I'm sure we'll get there eventually,

Stu.
