Subject: RE: Hidden Files Not Being Copied

I think that one thing has been proven by this thread: the documentation is inadequate.
I know that the config files and source have some documentation in them but it's a long way to go to try and get things running smoothly. I'd offer to do the docs myself, but I'm already working 28 hours a day!
Cheers,
Jason.
