further question:
and has nobody, since
https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=1076.0
figured a way to have the en/disable as a toggle??? (maybe skrommel has worked that into the ahkstructlib2 version, but that, as i said before, doesn't work for the 1.3. version here)
thanks for your help,
chrisk

thanks, lanux128, for your reply.
i have tried both the exe and the ahk, with the error messages as a result, as i mentioned...ie neither works.
what's surprising to me is that this is the first time that the exe version doesn't open (and give a choice re unpacking or not, if i remember right).
FYI: using XP/SP2.

for any further help,
my thanks,
chrisk

thanks czechboy...it's a bit of a picky job still, but it works well! (much looking forward to your character-editing rewrite when you have the time!)
