re: Don't change to text file...

So there's no reason why it can't be opened with notepad, or any other text file handler. And SINGHsays never said anything about changing the file. He just pointed out exactly what I have - that it can be opened with notepad. Paul D On Saturday, August 10, 2002 at 12:53 pm, CJ wrote: > >It shouldn't look like a text file! Leave it alone!
