Did you notice the changes to the wicpm menus?

Not that I can see. You would be reporting errors in versions that are
long out of use. Paul is nowhere as easy going as I am.

It worked for me on the 26th. I suspect you made a typo when you
despammed the address. Of course, if you had read the help, as I
suggested, you would have tried to post to the proper reporting address.

>I'm still wondering what process tampers with the

This is your error. You are again making assumptions without facts. The
files are hardly untouchable as I would define the word. Like the vast
majority of files on your boot volume, they rarely need to change.
However, they are no different than a file like os2lvm.dmd. Delete one of
them or corrupt one of them and your system will, most likely, not boot
properly.

Interesting belief system. They are just files.

This is useful, if it makes you comfortable. It's meaningless in terms of
system operation.
