Here's my version (frame COMP):<<
OK, I decoded that, added to U2. Still the same problem, but I think
I've got a clue. It appears to run OK through the end of the files,
then
goes into the endless loop. So I called each of the files in turn in
List in hex format, but the last three chars in both were 0D 0A 1A
(13,10, 26--a CR/LF and EOf, no?).
As these files were pretty heavily formatted, and with Use Styles at
that, I then tried getting rid of the US command. Still no luck. So
then
I cut out the last paragraph, on which comp appeared to choke. I
enclose
it here, XplNcoded. I suspect there is some tipping point in the
amount
of MD commands before it chokes. Anyone else want to try with this
file?
Save it, then CI possessive to genitive and save that as another file,
then Comp them.
