Hi,

I've rebuilt the .ZIP file - hopefully it will work better, now!

I think I am having the same problem as Thomas with the zip file. It may or may not be due to the colon placed in the file name, which I think is generally not allowed in Windows. The unzipping utilities will not process anything with an invalid file name – Thomas how did you get around this?

Got it working! It was some strange Windows based problem with the zip-file.

Sorry that I bothered you.

Really? Works fine for me - try it again. If it doesn't work, send me an e-mail and I'll fire you the .ZIP file.
