My most grateful thanks. I downloaded the trial version of PE explorer and took it for a run. Not bad product, lots of interesting information - kinda confirms my hope that using PerlAPP will at least keep our code away fomr the tinkerers who have caused me many problems in the past.

It is obviously extractable and could be 'got at' by someone of a more malicious bent. But RTFB is more fun this way.
