I do indeed. But then this is *oslib-team*; a very limited mail list
whose members all know who's who ;-). Anyway, my apologies for not

Ouch, that implies the published version in 5.61 is actually bugged! 
There have been no bug reports on this, so presumably it works most of

I'll take your statement as being a fault report and drop all the OS_F
handles from ArcWeb. No compatibility issues here!

Thanks for that,
