I hope the first post is now correct. I double-tested all scripts in the GOLF.KIX that was part of the downloadable ZIP package (and not importing the UNICODE import3_w2k.reg file) Brian's script definitely fails to import the first .REG file completely in addition to the '0' as output. And Erik (kholm) has the same '0' output problem.

I will have to be really careful when I write the next challenge that I put all the details in and be very precise as to what is allowed and what not.

Nevertheless, I think that everybody did an outstanding job with this coding.
