So you worked with hubby's patch...  :)

Well.. for a time line of sorts... the date on the latest version of the
patch (as on my computer) is 2006.  That IS a while ago.  :)   But I
think I may have been lurking on the bbs, just reading messages to me or
something similar, until you offered the offline option at all...  I
don't remember ever seeing the true BW door available... although I
might be misremembering...  :)   Maybe the problem was* a mismatch
between versions of softwares...
