Hi Richard,

Thanks for the note - and indeed I'm doing all my new work in 8.1dp2, which is 
going great.

However this is an app developed over very many years and in use in a number 
of places processing a great deal of text; and although in theory using the 
new Unicode capabilities will make it a lot better, in practise the current 
installations contain a lot of character set workarounds which will break. 
Until I/my clients can justify the testing load of the upgrade, I don't wish 
to move this app even to LC 7 let alone 8.

Fortunately, although the UNC bug broken in 6.6.4 and repaired in 6.7.5 was 
broken again by 6.7.7; it was repaired again by at least 6.7.11, the last 
version of 6.7. So I'm cautiously happy!
