Hi, Thqnk you for the reply. Is it possible to provide the SFE binaries? I've tried in the past (without much success) to compile SFE (and JDS) and it has never worked - things weren't found, files weren't downloaded (the build script assumed it was already there or simply that the link to a destination is out of date). I've compiled a couple of things manually (to avoid the whole debacle with SFE), but it would be nice to be able to actually properly use SFE for more than just a 'patch reference' and instead automate the compiling of applications I want. Sorry to sound like I'm whinging, but I've pulled out my hair in the past over such issues. Matthew
