I’ve had Sebastian’s dmg from the beginning, Ben. It behaves exactly as I have 
described in my README.txt. (Have you read this?) Sebastian and I have had a 
lot of contact over this matter.

I’d be happy to try your dmg, Ben. I suspect the results may not be that 
different. In fact, why don’t you try my README.txt program on your system. It 
might save some time.

Vic
