I don't think, though, that we'd win a lot of friends with an installation program that monkeyed around, unannounced, with QCPFMSG. Besides which, the current message uses nearly 80 characters (but could probably be shortened). Now on the other hand, if we maybe included a *MSGF of our own in the initial "squirt" that sends our RTNMODSER program, . . . by George, I think you're onto something! Which is good, because I just now realized that my previous "best idea" of filling QTEMP with a bunch of files whose names carried the required information not only didn't get me out of heavy modification to RTNMODSER, or of going into at least one class of the installer, and rewriting at least one method therein; it also didn't even get me out of opening a "download" data channel with the customer machine (which, I'm thinking, would require methods we purposely left out of the web-installer's FTP client). In fact, I'm now seriously thinking of going down to the office this afternoon, cranking up the appropriate development box, and trying it. -- James H. H.
