Thanks, Marc.

I subsequently found gmarik's VundleForWindows via Google (I seem to
have been under the impression that nothing works on Win32. Possibly
because its reputation precedes it) but I'll certainly check out VAM's docs.

This being a relatively short term project, I've no great inclination to
come to grips with DOS anymore than I have to as I can't see many jobs
like this coming along too often.

Once again, thanks.

Cheers,

Phil...
