I'm sitting in a hotel in Anzio, Italy logged into my system in Houston. It's 10pm and I have to get up early for a presentation on FoxCTS. I mention this to point out that I hate to be wrong. So, Here is the transcript of a display conversion. The file being converted is a DMCplus Bridge file built for the DM: Here you can see that I do not have any files called DMCplus*.fdf: 1AW51C# ls DMC* DMCMV.ACPID DMCMV.PID DMCPLUSD.SUM0 I will now convert DMCPLUSD.SUM0 from a pdf file to an fdf file: 1AW51C# /usr/fox/wp/bin/tools/pdf_fdf DMCPLUSD.SUM0 Here is the trace from pdf_fdf: SL-GMS (5.3m) Copyright (c) 23 November 1996 by Sherrill-Lubinski Corporation Configuration: C53m4_261123 RESTRICTED RIGHTS LEGEND Notwithstanding any agreement that may pertain to these materials, use, duplication, or disclosure by the Government is subject to restrictions as set forth in the Rights in Technical Data and Computer Software clause at FAR 52.227-19(c)(2) or of DFARS 252.227-7013(c)(1)(ii).

Though you cannot see it (and I can't send you a screen capture through the mailing list), the display is called up on my FV window on my PC.
