>Unless I'm mistaken, it was added after Fox Software "merged" with the big guys in Redmond.

Could well be - my memory is a bit foggy there.

As to the merger, we have the "boy, are we thundering", as the ant said when he walked with the elephant.

>>Fox Software? Can't really remember, when was fpath.plb introduced - with 2.0 or with 2.5 or 2.6? The oldest code I have from those years starts with 2.6, I have lost anything older than that (because it was on 5.25" floppies and I never had enough space on the disks).
