Crystal.

Thought as much, but I thought I'd better verify as a few spots had
stuff like this:

{
       {
               a
       }
       alius
       b
       c
}
d

and I have too much classic programming languages circulating in my blood.

The GerH *preliminary* windows ports of the mail*.crm scripts have
been fixed accordingly.

Sorry. At -11 dpt myself, I am used to reading small print all the

Yes. Changed in QUICKREF.txt for the next GerH build.

Thanks, Bill.
