Hummmm, my mistake Robert, I had forgotten there was also a problem with ded 
that seemed to impinge on my ability to fiddle with fat bits.

What I did to dcheck was as noted in the src header except I believe I zapped 
some old code that was never called, which also shrunk it some.  That then is 
the code Chuck has.  And TBT, if Chuck wants to wander through that code and 
kick the tires, maybe he can find the rest of the little 'off by one' type 
error reports when the fat and the files don't quite match.  That is a pretty 
good sized hunk of code for me to get my head around, and its near total lack 
of comments doesn't help.

Frankly, I'd buy a round for a copy of the original sources, but I've no clue 
where to ask.
