Thanks Jasen,
I did notice the inclusion of the new file filedata.c in fact I have been 
trying to generate it with sed or awk so I can update the autoconf tools and 
it's a bitch. I should have guessed at what was going on.  Thanks for the 
info.
I am going to have to get a ew "n" for my keyboard this ones knackered unlesss 
I smash it down!!
Best,
Colin
