This was in the examples at one point, but it's still wrong. Try something like 296k.

I can't see anything obviously wrong in what you've done. Take a look at http://www.vinumvm.org/vinum/how-to-debug.html and check out the information yourself first. If you can't find what's gone wrong, send me the information I ask for. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients. If you don't, I may ignore the reply.
