Ident is exactly what I am trying to emulate on this "platform." Unfortunately, ident doesn't seem to find these double-octet encoded strings as I thought it would, so I turned to Perl. ident does work fine on the source code, of course. (I use a _lot_ of cygwin to get me through the day in this Micros**t shop.) Maybe I did something wrong, though with ident that's hard to do :)

Thanks for the thought; I'll try again.

Donald.
