Interesting. But I don't want yet another RO version - life's
complicated enough with 5.XX and 4.02....

Have just spoken to the estimable Andrew - he's emailing me a zip.

Good question. I suppose some customers' email setups mightn't accept
an attachment of the requisite size, but of course they could always
request the physical version. Or it may be that CJE have a substantial
stock of pre-prepared CDs to get through - mine is smartly printed
with its details (though the version number is inked in)!

Happy Christmas anyway, Tony (and all readers of this list)!
