Oh THAT hexi editor! I didn't make the connection. I thought he had
some kind of application other than the Quickloader that he was trying
to work with.
The error check is ummmm kinda OK. I occasionally am reminded of
something I forgot, but you can't depend on it totally. Just running
through the entire program as if you were doing it all from scratch
will sometimes reveal things that the Error check just doesn't see as
important enough to point out. Sometimes I get surprised by the things
it misses that you would think would be obvious.
