Steve I meant that the error messages in the past were very helpful - particularly the line number refs - but for some may need to be explained more fully in a help file. Now I don't get any msgs eventhough the code may be incorrect, ie xpm="32 5 2 1" "0 c #C0C0C0" "1 c #000000" "12345611111111111111111111111111" "00000000000000000000000000000000" such cases are it appears corrected automatically or xpm="32 5 2 1" "0 c #C0C0C0" "1 c #000000" "1111111111111111111111111" "00000000000000000000000000000000000" In cases when characters in a line do not match the xpm the typ file is simply not created, leaving the poor creator in a state of 'utter confusion' ;) I suppose it is a matter of debate/size of jar as to how essential error msgs are.
