Thanks a lot Mark for your prompt reply.
First time I hear about MacToIso! (I should browse through the Livecode dictionnary more often!

And I should have read your book more rapidly! I am reading it but I am not arrived yet at page 209 ;-)) which I just discovered thanks to your reply and your very useful Alphabetical Index ;-)

I am trying MacToIso to morrow 

Best regards
