>I used that engine to find a 7.5MB file which is probably it (in their Delphi stuff) but I'm having trouble opening it from there. The problem could be at my end. Do you have an actual url?

Bret: when I went there, I saw the Delphi listing, but I tried to get the 8.3 MB file that's listed with "borland/cpp....." directory. At first, I got an error message, but then I tried one or two others (similar dir names) and finally got one. Tom Hayward
