	Yep - AFAICS we don't use ooqstart.bin on Mac - so I've never quite
understood why we bother with it [ or do we use it - I would be amazed
it has a fairly hard X dependency ;-]. It would be better to remove it
altogether I think.

	As you say- that should be REL_PATH too.

	sizeof counts one char more - with the nullbyte.

	paranoia :-) with the kind of crazies editing the code that we have
around here, some of it can be a good thing.

	Nothing - you're golden :-) it'd be great if you could clean it up on
master.

	Thanks !
