Sorry, I have to insist that it's a Unix file <gg>. It's created using Perl 
with "\n" linefeed (nothing else) and Linux (and I've checked the file from 
the mailing list too ,-)). Anyhow: I've a couple of other rule files which 
are created the same way and which work quite well, only the rule files 
with the file references don't work, so I think, it *might* be something 
regarding this file reference.
