Hey Don, thanks for the reply. I downloaded it last night, and i agree, it
does seem to have some worth. Kind of basic, but it points out issues that
may be overlooked or "taken for granted". I had a little issue with the
patch update though. it couldn't detect a patch i know has been installed,
and actually it caused me to install it again not realizing, and then still
didn't detect it.
