Result is: Original file size = 398336 bytes Checked out file size = 398322 bytes A difference of 14 bytes in an exe file, would be catastrophic.... I had a look with a hex editor inside the original binary file and looked for 0d0a sequencies, I found 7 of them in different places in the file. In the checked out file I found none! Something else must also have happened to the file because removing 7 0d:s will reduce the size by 7 bytes not 14 as I have proof of. I also chceked for 0a0d sequences, I found 2 in the original and none in the checked out file, so here we have yet 2 more 0d bytes that have disappeared. It looks like a serious bug in the released version, could not be trusted to manage binary files. :-( /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
