Fx questions

[John Maton]

Michael,
I am travelling and don't have access to my Apple Mac, I can try when I get
back (5.11).
I have a friend on Ubuntu and it worked for him.
However I have just noticed I am running 8.0_72-b02
so I will try on 8.0_72-b05 later today and let you know if that changes
anything
Regards
John Maton
