Dan,

Quite correct

Funnily enough I had an Ubuntu LiveCD to hand with it on, so I used that instead. Is there a finite number of passes the program needs to make? I left it running for six hours yesterday and it had done something like 11+ passes without finding an error. Is that anywhere near long enough?

Thanks

Jeff
