Unfortunately I don't have any compiler or debugger at work and at home
there is no remote FTP system for me to contact.  But I'm continuing to
spend time on it as I have minutes to spare.

ange-ftp-del-tmp-name("c:/DOCUME~1/RICHAR~1.BIE/LOCALS~1/Temp/ange-ftp14

  re-search-forward("File +Code +EOF ")

This was one of the things I'd planned but not had time to do.
Slim a chance as it was, I'd hoped somebody would recognize the symptoms

this weekend.  

Thanks
