The version out on their Web site (unless they just recently upgraded it) only works under Windows95 (with some manipulations of some dll files) or less. The version does not work under NT4.0 .. however, they do have a patch available for the 4.0 version. FastBinaryFiles is crucial for reading and writing large binary files... and is at least an order of magnitude faster.. Douglas J.
