Hi John,

There is no need to complicate matters with hard to type characters.
letterDefTest.ctb should provide you with all the required information.

lou_allround will not be able to find this bug because the operations 
are symmetric, the only way I can see is to step through the code with 
the given definitions and see how they are processed.

Thanks.
Mesar
