Charlie, where do you work?  Can I join you?  Please?  
 
To get software installed requires a work order, involvement from an 
organisation at another location, management decision, justification and
about 
6 months of red tape! 
 
We have been working on upgrading our version of PH for over two years and
we 
still haven't been able to get to software obtained from Cognos yet.  We
have 
enough issues (technical and management but mostly management) just getting 
our new environment set up let alone obtaining someone's precious time to 
install another version with required drives, etc, on our existing platform.=
 
 
Thanks for the input though.  We can dream ;)

This is a known bug in 6.10; fixed in 6.20E4.  If you're a supported
customer you can get 6.20E4 from Cognos or you can just rummage around
in the closet for that copy of 7.10 you never used.

After that it's simple: load 620 or 710 in a separate directory, keep
6.10 your system default (for everyone else), compile your dictionary
source in a separate area and make subfiles til the cows come home.
