Thanks. JGH has a lot of useful bit on his site.

I've just had a quick look. Does that patch to &FE4x or &FE5x? I've done 
a quick search for '&FE' and '40' and found reference to the &FC40 and 
&FEE5, but not to &FE40 or &FE50. I'm guessing that this patches ADFS to 
work at &FE4x? A longer read is required I guess.


Cheers,


Mick
