[hobbit] hobbit, file and bbwin question

[McGraw, Robert P]

Aaron,

Thanks for you input.  

Have installed BBWin V.12 and it behaves the same way. 

I have sent this in to the BBwin mail list but had not hear back and so I
want to ask others their experience.

I just did not want to be fighting windmills.

Thanks again

Robert
