Thanks Howard, my requirements are the same as yours (no Unix) so 
I'll copy what you're doing. This does seem to be a bug - only some 
of my builds are affected, and I can't work out what I've changed 
between the ones that work and the ones that don't work... maybe it 
will all go away in version 2.0 but in this instance I can't wait to 
find out.

Anyway very useful tip.
