Dear All,
I would like to join Pauli in making this suggestion. In fact, I would like to suggest 3 more possible options as well. Specifically XP/64x, Vista/64x and 7/64x.
I think that for RUNSHELL.VDM we were just lucky that the same adaptation worked for XP/64x, 7/32x and 7/64x. Possibly and probably it also works for Vista/32 and Vista/64x as well.
Now I would like to give Pauli a belated progress report on his VEDITPDF.VDM adaptation. In the original version I had a minor issue. Specifically the {Help, Vedit Macro Manual ..} gave an error message and then opened the manual. The adapted version works like a charm.
Since I do not have Zone Alarm, I do not know whether or not this is related to Pauli's issue.
