 VC> Hope it helps,

That's indeed another bug, or maybe you can call it an inconsistancy compared to what is documented. I think you need to specify %FILE% in uppercase in the ctl file to make it work.

 VC> The python code works though :)

I tried to test all the options for the python version, which seemed to have resulted in a descent port of the original pascal version... ;-)


Bye, Wilfred.
