I opened it in WordPad...but WordPad handles that, so it wouldn't be a true
indicator. I did have to transfer these files from my MacPerl to his PC,
but I used BBEdit to change all the \r's to \r\n's before copying the
files.  Would there be anything else?  I thought / vs. \ in the pathing
might be the issue, but hacked that in autoloader and didn't make a
difference.  I downloaded DB_File 1.65 from CPAN, but it just dropped down
flat w/no directory structure and it appeared to not have all of the needed
files.  I'll try it again now that i know where everything goes.

Tried to talk him into getting a Mac, but that's a no-go despite his
frustrations with WinDOS.

Thanks,

Jason
