Thank you both for concerns but I've been unhappily editing files in vi for about thirty years, I long ago painfully discovered that the most useful vi command is cp never edit before copying( how do you spell hipocrite ??) I've not had a problem with windows editing of nix files since I buried that W95 CD at the bottom of the garden with a big rock on top, there i go again being flippant. Thanks once again for the help in this forum, such a brilliant project and a forum that is a pleasure to dip into.
