I may not have explained my problem adequately. On my machine, everything works. It's on the testers' machines that I have a problem and I don't know if there is a simple way to mimic what they are doing that causes the test failures. My reading indicates that this could be done my setting up an entire virtual machine to act as a pre-release test environment, but even then I would have to set it up in such a way that it would generate the errors, and not all test runs return errors. It also seems like a very large yak to shave unless there is no option.

I get it now. Apologies for my earlier stupidity - it's amazing what a night's sleep can do. I was misunderstanding the bash (I default to Windows) and getting a totally false impression. I have implemented a Windows version of your code & I think it does what I need.

Regards,

John Davies
