<div>I am still trying to gather information to send you a message that caused the defunct process. I had over 600 df files in the inbound queue that I made a copy of before commenting out the UnpackOle line. Which one would be the one you need? Would it be the oldest one? Is there some attibute about the file that I can search for to pinpoint the bad one? Or should I just tgz all of them and put them on a web server for you?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I apologize for not getting back to you sooner with the needed info. We have a major site upgrade going live in a few days so I have had to focus on that.</div>
